When you think back on 25 years of climbing, says British writer Ed Douglas, you end up wondering, "Where did all that time go?"

Reflecting on his own climbing life and peering into the motivations of British climber-artists, Ed begins to answer that question in Alpinist 28's "A Muscular Imagination: Andy Parkin and the Art of Climbing." Through the article, Ed peels away sponsorship and elitism to scratch at climbing's philosophical core.

Alpinist recently spoke with Ed about the joys and challenges of writing such a story--click here to read the interview and see artwork from Issue 28.
