I've also found that OR is best enjoyed as quickly as possible. The Salt Palace just has a way of sucking the life out of you.

Thanks Stewart!

Peter, it was great talking with you at the Falcon booth. Good luck with all your projects and your blog, which is always interesting and informative.

Glad you got the Climbing mag birth figured out. As Mike said, ole Harvey T started the deal. I used to have issue #1 but I guess someone "borrowed" it. I know Harvey has a box full of them still. Bil Dunaway was publisher of the Aspen newspaper, and Fritz Stamberger was a bad-ass skier who had skied the north face of North Maroon Peak and was killed later n the 1970s skiing in Asia.

Thanks Michael!

Just saw this after a hectic time in SLC.

Brief history:

Harvey Carter founded Climbing magazine in 1970; first issue came out in May of that year. Harvey sold the mag to Bil (that's the way he spells it) Dunaway and Fritz Stammberger about 2 years later; their first issue was Jan-Feb 1972.

I worked for Bil starting in November 1974, bought the magazine from him in the summer of 1988, sold it in the summer of 1997 and stayed on as editor/publisher for another year.

So there ya have it.

Brett, thanks for the info!

I think Stewart Green is in regular contact with Harvey. I would shoot Stew an email, and I am sure he could arrange something.

I enjoy reading your blog, and I would love to see more on your own training and your home wall.

Cheers,
Brett

I don't really have anything else, but it is easy to track down Harvey if you are ever interested in getting the story first hand.
