Walmart is the essence of america. |

People gotta eat. My last count was 62 pages for Climbing magazine down from 192 back in 1998. Every time I pick up that magazine they lose another 10 pages. It sucks because I actually like picking up a magazine and reading it cover to cover when I'm catching a flight. |
|
I picked up the latest Climbing at DIA on November 27th. Didn't count the pages, but it was approximately the size of a Mountain Gear catalog. Hope they can salvage something, but it appears the end is near. |

For the first time in 20+ years of climbing and magazines I will not be renewing my subscriptions to Rock and Ice and Climbing. |
|
last I checked walmarts are the urban campsites for dirtbag climbers. Perhaps it's their way of welcoming us to the corners of their parking lots. |

Like Wal-Mart needs to advertise. Just ask these people how much Wal-Mart needs to advertise: |
|
Whats wrong with a walmart ad on the back cover? The magazine is a business and needs to make money. I'm willing to bet they paid top dollar for that ad. |
|
Interesting documentry. deathbychina.com We don't support Walmart, buy Made In USA or Canada or......when possible! Support local workers/manufacturing. |
|
Rock and ice is still readable. Climbing isn't - didn't renew. There is no content. |
|
Thanks to the whitebreading of climbing, real soon you'll be hearing: |
|
I don't know a single dirtbag climber who hasn't slept in a Wal-Mart parking lot at some point in their life. Not everyone is a food snob with an expensive budget. |

Just ask these people how much Wal-Mart needs to advertise: Maybe the Mart should advertise how they pay minimum wadge to most of their employees, and how they only hire part-time workers to circumvent the need to pay for benefits like healthcare. That way the tax payers, AKA Wal-Mart's customers, can pick up the tab when Mart employees have to purchase heavily subsidized healthcare, food stamps and other welfare products.But wal-mart advertises how good they are to their employees! youtube.com/watch?v=CCtd1jj… |

Yeah, I'm thankful to sleep in their parking lot and 'live better' :) |
|
I'm not mad at Walmart, they've always been dicks, I'm mad at Climbing. It used to be something to look forward to, something that would inspire me. I would spend money I didn't have on it back in the day. |
