Dave Barnes interviews adaptive climber Sarah Larcombe over a few climbs at his favourite Tassie crag. Allie Pepper shares insights into how to prepare—mentally and physically—to take on 8000m peaks. Kate Baecher details hacks for overcoming mental fatigue to optimise performance.
The issue also features all the regular content and more to inform, inspire and entertain, with in-depth reviews, crag recipes, gear, interviews, awe-inspiring photos and even some poetry! It’s guaranteed to make you laugh, think, and climb a little differently.
