Rock & Ice

Rock & Ice is a magazine published by Big Stone Publishing focusing on rock and ice climbing. The magazine got its start in early 1984 and the first issue was in late 1985.[1] The first publisher was Neal Kaptain, and it was bought out within the first year by George Bracksieck, who remained editor until 1997.[2] His company, North-South Publications, sold it to Primedia,[3] a company led by Dougald MacDonald and others.[4] The magazine is published eight times a year.[5] It was headquartered in Boulder, Colorado until 2002 when it moved to Carbondale, Colorado.[1][4]

The cover of the first issue featured Alex Lowe climbing the first ascent of The Fang in Vail, Colorado.[2]
