Ever found you simply can’t get enough time out in the mountains? Had hankerings for another climb as soon as you’ve finished the last one? You might have a problem. Shaun Barnett investigates the terrifying world of climbing addiction.
You can access issue #109 here. This issue features some great photo content from the 2019 Remarkables Ice and Mixed Festival, the NZAC Photographic Competition and the National Indoor Boulder Series. There's also an outline of some off-the-beaten-track ski touring destinations and a story about the first ascent of Kakapo Crest in Fiordland. Pertinent to this time of year, this issue also included a topo poster highlighting some of the ice and mixed climbing available in the Remarkables, you can find a copy of that here. Enjoy!
