Vertical Life - Edition 46

Bu konuda

Vertical Life #46 is here, with a spectacular cover shot of Angie Scarth-Johnson deep water soloing in Mallorca, Spain, taken by Matty Hong, while filming for Yeah Buddy—one of the offerings in the upcoming Reel Rock 18. Inside the mag, Angie writes about deep water soloing for the first time, guided by climbing legend, Hazel Findlay. We hear from Matt Groom, the journalist behind Reel Rock film Climbing Never Die, who shares why he traveled to an active war zone to cover speed climbing in Ukraine. Tom O’Halloran writes about his seven long years projecting what is thought to be Australia’s hardest sport climb. Hazel Finlay delves into performance hacks and explains why the oft-neglected mental game is crucial to advancing in climbing… and in life. For the crack enthusiasts, we get the low down on Frog Buttress from Queensland local Kyle Addy. Jeremy Shepherd details the teamwork it took to rig WA’s longest highline. And Alastair McDowell rediscovers his love of the mountains through a fast and light, human powered, one day ascent of Aoraki.

This issue also squeezes in crag coffee beta, reviews, awe-inspiring photos and more. It’s guaranteed to make you laugh, think, and climb a little differently.
