Well….not too seriously. Julie Ellison says that the whole idea behind climbing Magazine is to make it fun and accessible. Climbing Magazine prides itself in being the standard of the industry when it comes to articles on climbing techniques, safety skills, training articles, and broad, captivating international features that can be enjoyed by climbers of all levels.
