"Climber is Britain`s most established magazine for all aspects of climbing and mountaineering from the Alps to the greater ranges and covering UK and world news. With in-depth coverage of health and environment issues to features on sport climbing, indoor wall climbing and competitions plus comprehensive gear reviews and what's new updates and book reviews and extensive area reports.
The magazine has gone through various changes and developments culminating in a new look for January 1995: A new masthead; more pages; and laminated cover; all contribute to a brighter, bigger magazine. "
