Vertical Life - Edition 49

In this issue

Vertical Life #49 is here for summer ‘24-25, with a stunning cover shot by Tassie local Michael Blowers of Ewan Barry jamming his way through Holiday in Cambodia, 21, at the Organ Pipes of kunanyi/Mt Wellington. Inside the mag we have a photo essay showing the development of classic Organ Pipes routes. We get to know Rose Weller, a self-described weekend warrior, who’s ticking off some of Nowra’s hardest routes while studying full time to be a doctor. Mikl Law tells the story of setting a 500m trad multipitch—and trying to make it something others would want to repeat! Mat Young gets reflective on why we climb anyway, and Ash Brennan writes about joining a team to bolt sport routes in Armenia’s emerging climbing scene.

The issue also features all the regular content and more to inspire and entertain, with in-depth reviews, a gear gift guide, interviews, awe-inspiring photos and safety tips! It’s guaranteed to make you laugh, think, and climb a little differently.
