This photograph shows two issues of Climbing magazine laid side by side on a white cloth background — it is not an automotive document. The left issue is No. 214, dated August 1, 2002, with the tagline 'Leading since 1970.' Its cover features a woman leaping from a boulder toward a crash pad with a spotter below in a desert mountain landscape. Cover stories include 'THE BUGABOOS: North America's greatest alpine rock,' a 'CRASH TESTED' review of 13 bouldering pads, a photo special on El Cap's newest hair-raising free route, a profile question 'How does Kevin Thaw keep his cool?', and 'Sport climbing's 10 essentials.' The right issue is No. 215, dated September 15, 2002, the '3rd Annual Special Edition' titled 'Epics III — Hardship and Heroism,' featuring an ice/alpine climber in a red jacket on snowy rock. It promotes '6 Harrowing tales of disaster and survival' and a 'STORM TESTED' review of top lightweight down bags. Both issues are priced $4.99 US / $7.99 CAN and list www.climbing.com.
