‘Stories of the outdoor kind’
New Mountain Magazine is a new independent title that celebrates the joy of exploration and outdoor adventure. Inside, you’ll find personal essays, photo stories, interviews and helpful guides—encouraging readers to ‘find joy in the outside, on their own terms’.
The soaring cover story of this fourth edition follows CJ Sturtevant, an early adopter of hang gliding—whose lifelong love of air sports sees her still taking to the skies at almost 80 years old—caught midflight in 1983.
Elsewhere, Sam Mumford reports from Iceland, where explorers Hugo Thomas and Archie Williams—aided by their ‘motley crew’—walked a 57 metre high slackline across the Sólheimajokull glacier, to reflect its approximate average retreat each year due to climate change; photographer Josh Conroy recounts an expedition he undertook with riders Jimmy Smith and Joey Schusler, embarking on a route the trio mapped out drawn from satellite imagery across the Turkish Kaçkar mountain range; and Eva Baumgarti offers readers an insight into her nomadic existence between London, Barcelona, California and Chiemgau, lived from the back of her converted Fiat PandaVan.
