Hi All,  I have a thing for climbing history and old magazines.  I let my Climbing Magazine subscription lapse a couple of times over the last decade and I'm looking for the missing issues.  I'm also on the hunt for some older issues of Climbing, Rock & Ice and Summit magazines.  I can pay you for issues or, if you'd prefer, trade for issues or gear you might be interested in.  I have a lot of duplicates (including some early issues) of Climbing, Alpinist, Rock & Ice, American Alpine Journal, Summit, Mountain, The Climbing Art, Off Belay, etc.  I could send you a list of what I have.  Here's a complete list of what I'm looking for:

Climbing: #240 (Photo Annual 2005), #352 (Gear Guide 2017) & #355 (Aug 2017)

Rock & Ice: #185.5 (Gear Guide 2010)

The following are probably a longshot, but if you have them I want them!

Climbing: #1 (May 1970) & #39 (Nov-Dec 1976)

Summit: Dec 1955, Jan 1956, Feb 1956, Jun 1956, Nov 1956, May 1959, Apr 1964 & Nov 1975

American Alpine Journal: 1963

Please let me know if you have any of these issues and are willing to let go of them.  I'd love to work out some deals and get closer to completing my collections.  Thanks and be well.

Giving this a bump in hopes of catching more eyeballs.  The amazing Ben Jammin hooked me up with four of the Climbing issues that I was missing.  I've edited the post to reflect what I'm still looking for.  Let's make a deal!

Waterstone in Fayetteville, WV has a collection of old climbing magazines on a shelf in their book section. You might give them a call.

Thanks for the tip Justin!  I'll see if Waterstone can help me out.

Thanks to the awesome B C, I have acquired Climbing #319.  I've updated my wish list and, well, what a perfect time to give this post another bump!

Giving this a bump.  Still looking for old and not so old magazines!
