Vertical Life - Edition 44

In dieser Ausgabe

Vertical Life #44 is here with an emotional new cover design featuring Lucy Stirling, and 84 pages full of the same incredible climbing content you know and love.

We bring you your backstage pass to the Climbing Film Tour—with six epic new climbing films about to hit our shores we’re stoked to have taken a deep dive behind the scenes.

Along with the films, we’ve got a whole lot of stories exploring the creative side of our sport, and how it helps us see the world a little differently. Dr Kate Baecher looks at links between climbing and creativity directly in Mindset Reset, and we hear how photographer Michael Blowers leans into his creativity. We learn that it’s the magic of the places we climb that inspired Dr Vanessa Wills to combine climbing with citizen science. On climbing influencing creativity in our own lives, we head to the Blue Mountains to meet climbing novelist and illustration duo, Philip Barker and Katrina Churchill, and hear about how climbing shapes their creative partnership.
