About
Wild #189, Spring 2023 is going to be an awesome issue. For
starters, check out that cover! Adventure may be
synonymous with the outdoors, but the real game is not so
much outside us as within, especially when it comes to fear.
In our cover story, Blue Mountains climbing guide Anzhela
Malysheva tackles the subject head on, and gives fear itself a
lyrical, thoughtful and brave appraisal.
On the subject of overcoming fear, there’s also this issue’s
profile. Titled ‘Doing it Scared Together’, it’s a look at
Melinda Oogjes and Paul Pritchard. Readers might
remember Paul, who became a hemiplegic after a climbing
injury, from the beautiful piece he wrote in Wild a few issues
back. Well, this piece is just as beautiful, only this time it’s
not written by him, nor is it only about him; instead it’s a
profile on his relationship with his loving partner Melinda.
It’s a moving, touching piece, one I’m sure readers will enjoy.
