Today marks the day when the first copies of CRUX #7 have begun filtering out to the far reaches of Australia (and overseas). Subscribers and our wonderful contributors (over 75 of them!) should receive their mags today or tomorrow. All shops should have them in stock by the end of the week. If you are not already a subscriber then consider signing up today – the first 10 subscribers get a free 2009 Onsight World Climbing Calendar ($20 worth). Sweet!
Content in this issue includes… World Youth Championships 2008, Vietnamese Delights, The Dirty Bolt Files by Mike Law, Koh Tao Thailand, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra Bouldering, Tassie Ice Climbing, New Fiction by Cameron O’Neill, Men’s Fashion by Josh Caple, 10 pages of photos, columns on training, injurys and food plus the usual assortment of other stuff. 80 glorious pages of glossy colour.
Some of you may have noticed that it has been quite a few months between issues - don’t be alarmed! CRUX isn’t about to disappear. We were just taking our usual third of a year break between issues, which is the reason we only publish three issues a year! Since all who work on the mag are doing it for free we need some time off to maintain a normal life and actually go climbing.
The next issue (#8!) is due to be finished at the end of the year. We’d love your help again with articles and photos, or just some feedback on how we can improve the magazine.
The deadline for contributions to our next issue is only six weeks away, November 25th 2008.
Stuff we’d love to receive for our next issue is – in-depth researched editorial articles about people or past climbing history, bouldering beta sequences, artwork, cartoons, crosswords, crazy photos and local news from your area. Let us know what is happening in your part of the world!
CRUX is now based wholly in New South Wales, with design and distribution centralized in the Blue Mountains. More climbing and more magazine fun is the aim.
Thanks for your support!
