Rock & Ice Magazine Covers - Issue #74 Aug '96 & #77 Feb '97 Climbing

This photograph shows two back issues of Rock & Ice magazine, billed as "America's #1 Climbing Magazine," laid side by side on a white cloth background. The left issue is #74, dated August 1996, priced $4.95 US / $6.95 CAN. Its cover features a climber bouldering under an orange rock overhang, with cover lines promoting "The High Road: 5 best ridge traverses," "Carlos who? Carsolio bags the 8,000ers," and "Ultra-light tents: shave pounds off your load." The right issue is #77, dated February 1997 (with a "Display until Feb 28 '96" line printed near the masthead), also $4.95 US / $6.95 CAN. Its cover shows a shirtless climber high on a steep orange wall against a blue sky, with cover lines for "Randy Leavitt," "Lake Willoughby ice," "winter sleeping bags," "second seven summits," and "killing twight?" This is not an automotive reference document; it contains no vehicle wiring, fuse, or specification information. It was uploaded to a 2003 Jeep TJ gallery but has no relation to that vehicle. A reader can learn the issue numbers, dates, cover prices, and featured article topics of these two mid-1990s climbing magazine issues.
