I picked up a couple of these old Mazamas Annuals at Powells a few months ago to stash in the bathroom, but only recently have been able to go through them and scan some of the ads in the back. After doing a little searching on some of the companies featured in the ads, I came across a few links worth passing along as background info.

Enjoy.

A few real gems inside this issue from the mid-seventies… The hot pink cover is a real keeper.

A bit of a cross-post from Altitude Slickness, but consider this the first of hopefully many future posts about the world of outdoor literature, photography, and design. Expect bits and pieces of climbing ephemera, book reviews, scans of odd or historical advertising, and a healthy dose of love for the written word as it pertains to the great outdoors.

Stay tuned.
