This image shows two rock climbing magazine covers photographed side by side — it is not an automotive document. On the left is the 1999 Climbing Gear Guide (issue No. 184, $4.95 US / $6.95 CD), billed as 'the only complete source for climbing equipment.' Its cover promotes 5 new gear categories (aid tools, stoves, holds, altimeters, bivy tents), expert buying advice on rock shoes, ropes, cams, crampons and ice tools, plastic and leather boots, and packs, plus editors' picks, over 1000 products, and tech tips such as building a hanging stove, repairing cams, customizing crampons, and rappelling ice safely. On the right is Climbing magazine No. 185, dated May 1, 1999 ($4.95 US / $6.95 CD), featuring a cover story on Cerro Torre asking whether Cesare Maestri's claimed 1959 first ascent was the greatest climb of all time or an elaborate hoax, with a photo of Maestri and a marked route showing the highest artifact from his ascent found in 1998. Additional cover lines include Ceüse ('the world's best crag?'), Mt. Waddington, training for climbers over 40, buying ropes cheap, and a complete guide to Mount Rainier. The item does not relate to the 2003 Jeep TJ it was filed under.
