🆓 We believe in the healing power of nature, and thanks to our partners, this issue is packed with outdoor inspiration — available for free!
📔 Our cover story explores the rich history of the south face of Yosemite’s Half Dome. This iconic wall has shaped climbing history with dramatic accidents, daring rescues, and legendary climbs by figures like Warren Harding, Galen Rowell, Steve Bosque, Mike Corbett, and John Middendorf.

🧗 Also in this issue, Doug Robinson, known as the “Father of Clean Climbing,” returns with part two of his clean climbing manifesto. His revolutionary ideas, first introduced in the 1972 Chouinard catalog, challenge climbers to reflect on their impact on nature.
📜Building on this theme of responsible climbing, we also highlight the Yosemite Climbing Associations Climber’s Credo, a grassroots agreement developed to address the proposed nationwide fixed anchor prohibition in Wilderness areas. This initiative promotes ethical climbing practices and aims to influence future regulations to preserve access.
🌲 Other stories include the Inyo Mountain Wilderness, solo bikepacking in the Lost Sierra, the indigenous-led effort to restore and paddle the Klamath River, climbing Mexico’s volcanoes, and the return of great white sharks along California’s coast.
