Michael Kennedy on Access to Climbing Culture and the Photo of Edlinger That Defined the 80s

from Written in Stone: Climbing History · host Plug Tone Audio

Michael Kennedy is a legend of climbing media. As the editor of Climbing Magazine from 1974 to 1998, he helped to bring climbing culture to tens of thousands of climbers who otherwise didn't have access to it. He also took the photo that I believe best defines climbing in the 1980s.  Check out our website for related episodes, resources and more!
