Issue #6 of the Australian CRUX Magazine is out. It was a massive team effort with over 70 people contributing articles, photos and helping out with editing. I think it has resulted in something that the Oz climbing community can be very proud of.
This issue is subtitled the “Girlpower” special. I guess if you were cynical you could argue the womens content didn’t go far enough but I think it was a commendable effort by the CRUX editor and the contributors to get so much good content on the subject together in the one issue. As Lee Cujes commented “It would seem to me that women contributed on or were the focus of the majority of the main articles in the mag. I can’t see a published Aussie example of where this has been done better previously.” I think it’s good that CRUX has made a serious effort on the subject. No other Australian climbing magazine has done that.
This issue marks the two years of CRUX publication; quite a milestone! CRUX has kept to the larger A4 format after much feedback on the Photo Annual. As a photographer I’m happy to see that.
CRUX is available from climbing gear shops and gyms Australia wide or you can purchase mail-order copies and subscriptions from here.
