I know first hand the pains and difficulties associated with running a magazine. You did your task with grace and your voice will be missed.

It was interesting to see how the dates of Matt's different jobs coincided with my opinions of the different climbing magazines. <br /><br />I previously preferred to read R&I. At about the time Matt left R&I for Climbing, I felt that R&I went downhill, becoming all about big glossy pictures, with little written content (I could read an entire magazine end to end in a single sitting), so I canceled my R&I subscription (and kept Climbing).<br /><br />I recently re-subscribed to UC and was surprised to see a large percentage of the content was written by Justin Roth. While I love his writing, it seems there should be more outside contribution. I cant imagine that he has the time to do that much writing (and keep up the quality) on top of all his other duties.<br /><br />I will also be curious to hear why Matt left, and where he is going next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790818505250918302.post-78685588300262439812010-02-23T06:52:51.906-07:002010-02-23T06:52:51.906-07:00Hi Mick,

Thanks a ton, Peter. As a struggling writer myself (working at all different angles), its refreshing to hear a voice devoid of spin and full of truth. What Matt has to say is important to anyone in this industry, without a doubt. Cheers to Matt...I hope to see his words in print for the rest of my climbing career...Dave McAllisterhttp://www.pumpfactoryroad.comnoreply@blogger.com
