Vertical Life

Vertical Life is a climbing magazine in Australasia, available in both digital and print options. Here at Vertical Life we love climbing, be it beanied bouldering, clip-up sportclimbing, old-school daddy-tradding, big-wall suffering, alpine extremism, spandex-clad competition climbing, desperate-times-call-for-desperate-measures buildering, the lot – if it involves monkey business we will cover it.

It’s not because you were on the naughty list (all VL readers are on the ‘nice’ list…obviously!), it’s because these goodies are set to drop in 2023. Just like the mysterious arrival of the big man on Christmas Eve, we’re not sure when these will land, but what we are sure of, is that team VL will be eagerly waiting in line to get our hands on them.
