i'm not surprised, given the shit they've been packing for a while now.

so we can lookforward to more photos of the gresh in shades,  photos of mountains from a distace with redlines drawn up the sides, and more B-grade articles by laughing-boy sharples?.

i'd like to see it work, but i'm not reaching for my wallet just yet.

On The Mountain Edge?

[Doylo]

so basically its gonna be the same old OTE but with a load of shite about mountains and glacial treks thrown in for good measure. Great  :roll:

That will be one thin mag

[cofe]

i 'won' a subscrition to high and i have to say its rare it gets me through an entire shit. i normally have to pad said bowel passage out with bowldro gogledd cymru, or a back issue of OTE (from when it was half decent).

i aprticulalry like the el nino issue where patch and leo dick on the hubers :

On The Mountain Edge?

"Mountain High the Edge On" is quite snappy I think.

[Scouse D]

how about "On the shelf"

christ, that must be a tight squeeze, even for you cofe  :shock:

just glad my subscription to ote has finally ran out

I bought OTE last week for the first time in ages. Needless to say the money would have been better spent on drugs.

So its now a combination of 3 magazines; wasnt Mountain Review absorbed by High, which resulted in the dull red lines on Mountains bit already mentioned? I only buy them if thers a couple of interesting articles and I need something to read these days ie not often. At a push I normally go for Climber anyway.

[dave]

i don't buy climber on principle.....






...the principle that its shit. Obviously pantontino's flava is the best thing in there, but i don't want to read advertorials for mapcases or gaiters, or read about the latest second rate retro-bolted sportcrag in the south west or something like that. i've just never seen a copy that makes me wanna shell out £3.

Mountain Review (which was a class mag for anyone liking the big hills - got my copies safely tucked away somewhere) was apparently incorporated into OTE - as in they did a couple of 'mountain based' articles for a few months and then promptly forgot about it.

Mountain Info - the red lines thingy - has been in High for as long as i can remember and was picked up from the demise of ' Mountain' magazine (or whatever that mag that old people remember was called - i'm too young to know such shit)

History lesson over.........

[Fingers of a Martyr]

agree with u on climber dave its very poor. the bouldering scenes good but sadly not worth three quid. the training articles r stupidly simple, boring and not in depth enough. plus most of it can be found for free on the internet. i can honestly say that i've never read a feature length article in climber that has interested me.

ote was really good this month i thought but as a rule of thumb its varied at best and a pile of piss at worst.

[mozzer]

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I have thought OTE has been shite for ages, and to be honest I think Climber is much better. At least it has good piccies.
