Any cool 'zines about, these days? Or has it all gone to the web?

Not the glossies but homespun photocopy jobs. Love to get the scoop from the "real" climbers.

rc.com is kinda like a big ol' "'zine in progress" but I miss the old classic skate 'zines like Geek Attack & such


'Twas another time, perhaps.

if not, send specs & digits!

I like those magazines where dudes send in naked pictures of their chicks.

I have a few copies of the newsprint versions when Paul and Suzanne were printing them. Real 'zine 'tude and everything. Great letters to the editor, too. Be sure to check out the "Asshole" section. Matt Samet likes it, too. I can tell you who "Toothless Choad" is in case you are interested. Ha ha ha!

We got a new issue of VBouldering at work (gear shop) a couple of months ago. It's still catering to the lowest common denominator but I guess they've portrayed the average mentality of a boulderer pretty well.

They're review section in the last issue was titled "Shit We've Tried"... classy.

It seems to be getting better though.
