WARNING: Nerd Alert!
Well after checking the content of the climbing mags scattered around my place. the lastest 'Climbing' mag (US) $US6 has 90 pages of which 38 are full page ads, ( a quick scan thru the other 'climbing' mags have about 42 to 50% full page ads) add to that a 4 odd pages of whinging letters or photos of their newborn stuck in an offwidth (how cute! NOT) while the new rock - coming in at 40 pages only has 10 full page ads (25%) and no whinging letters. Even thou i subscribe to the US mags i still prefer Rock as i now i will read it cover to cover but with the US ones... well there's only so much you can take, but the pictures are good.
Also you cant compare paying a subscripton to a mag with work , cause if you gave somebody a quote for work to be done , they couldn't come back in 2-3 years with the same quote as prices could of increased shit loads by then, especially in the trades.
