Looking for an older Climbing Magazine article...

Anyone know where I can find Mark Twight's 1988 Climbing Magazine article, "Rise and Fall of the American Alpinist"? I've tried a Google search and you have to pay to look at old volumes of Climbing Magazine. Any help's appreciated. Cheers

you know what issue #? I can check my stack of mags, I have most issues going back to early 80's.

I can't find the reference to any issue number, I only know it was from 1988, maybe mid '88?

I flipped thru the 88' issues and didn't see it. R&I maybe?

It was definitely Climbing Magazine. He said so on one of the article on his website. I tried calling the oh so helpful folks at Climbing Magazine and they basically told me I was an idiot for even asking a question like that. Guess it seems pretty farfetched that someone would call Climbing Magazine looking for an older article in Climbing Magazine.. Way of the universe I reckon. Thanks for the help. Cheers

When I have some more time I'll see if I can find it. It's fun reading through those old issues every so often, brings back the memories!

Found it - Climbing 108, pg 130 and 131.
I can scan it and send you a copy tomorrow.

Back in the old days, when Climbing actually contained useful
information, they used to compile an index, and it was
download-able (if that's a word) as a PDF. Found it in there.
