It’s finally here… The new look Rock Climbing UK

Climbing news | Gareth Hanson | June 2, 2010 1:07 pm

And the changes are not just skin deep.

After a year as basically my blog, we’ve switched the format of Rock Climbing UK to an online rock climbing magazine.

Content is no longer supplied solely by, me, Gareth Hanson (now Editor-in-Chief!), but by multiple contributors, each with their own experience and perspective.

We’d love you to become a contributor too, and there are more details on our ‘guest post policy’ page here.

We decided to switch up a gear largely due to the site’s growing popularity. We decided that the site ought needed to be bigger, better and more varied to meet growing demand. Thus far, the support we have received has been fantastic. Thank you everyone for your support and visits so far, it’s hugely appreciated. Things are only going to get even better around here.

If you have something to say about rock climbing—through the mediums of words, images, video or audio—drop us a line. We would love to have you on board.

We especially need:

  • Crag and route reviews
  • Climbing book or equipment reviews
  • Climbing techniques
  • Climbing knots

To get involved, simply email me, Gareth Hanson, gareth(at)rockclimbinguk.co.uk. Find out more about what we’re looking for on our ‘guest post policy’ page.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Enjoy the new look magazine, subscribe to the RSS feed, and we’ll see you out on the crag sometime.

It's good to share!

    Hi Gareth,

    I’ve just come across the new look rock climbing uk and it looks fantastic so well done you. Hope you’ve been getting out and about. I’ve been quite busy this year climbing wise and I’m now looking forward to winter.

    Regards,

    Nick

    Hi Nick,

    Good to hear from you again. Believe it or not this layout has been up for months, I’m just about to replace it again with something a bit more ‘magazine’ like.

    Glad you have been getting some routes in. I’ve done loads of indoor climbing (2-3 times per week), and had a great start to the season outdoors, but the last 12 weeks or so have been rubbish. David only gets Sundays off, and it seems like every Sunday it’s raining.

    I haven’t done much winter stuff. Maybe this year I should give it a go.

    Would love to have a post on RCUK from you man (if you have time to write one up?)

    Cheers, Gareth
