Vantage Point – 50 Years of the Best Climbing Stories Ever Told

Since our founding in 1970, Climbing Magazine’s goal has been to inspire and entertain with compelling coverage of climbing in all its forms, from bouldering to the big walls, trad to sport climbing, ice climbing to mountaineering.

Vantage Point offers a collection of the most inspiring, thought-provoking, and humorous stories featured in Climbing over the past five decades—this anthology of classic tales will move you to grab your chalkbag, rope, and harness and head for the hills. Each section opens with new text from a notable climber of that era, including Chris Sharma, Beth Rodden, Jim Erickson, and more.
