Subscription
Did I mention this was awkward?
What you will give:
If you would care to look to your right, at the glaringly yellow colored box; you will find some amounts reflecting back at you. A subscription. God forbid. I detest them too, but even 60 dollars pays for a week’s hosting as well as the ungodly hours I spend crouched over my laptop. So, pick your price, or however the saying goes, and you might find yourself entertained. Also, for every person who pays, we give one year’s worth of subscription to someone who can’t afford it, and if that happens to be you, keep scrolling.
What you will get:
On a month-to-month basis:
- Four short form dispatches, one every week.
- Biweekly features (long from dispatch)
- Once a month, a pretty long piece on something to do with mountaineering or mountains. I’m not sure what I want to call it.
- A weekly Peak Profile which is every under the sun imaginable information about a specific peak.
- A type of post I like to call ‘take a detour’, get it?
ON a random basis:
- Expedition reports for when I actually get out of my room.
- Expedition reports others send me for when they actually get out of their rooms.
- A joke, a good one.
What you should know:
Uh, two things mainly. One, that there is no sneaky auto-renewal bullshit. When your subscription expires, I’ll send you an email, (if I don’t forget) and then it’s up to you to do with it what you want.
Secondly, all posts that were published before and during your subscription year will be available to you for lifetime (even if you end your subscription) in your personal archive, as long as you don’t delete your account.
What if you can’t afford it:
I’ve been there; in fact I am there. But if for whatever reason you can’t afford the subscription, such as living in the year 2026, just drop an email (find it on the contact us page) and I’ll put you on the list. Not that kind of list. The kind where if someone pays the subscription, we’ll match it with one to you. There might be a waiting period, but we’ll get to you at some point.
Wow, I’m really running with the ‘What’ theme here, anyways if you decide that paying any amount in today’s suckass economy is worth it, just know I’m awkwardly drowning in gratitude over here.
