Welcome to InsideOutsideMag.com
Dear Readers,
This is good-bye. After nearly 12 years of publication, Inside/Outside Southwest magazine has ceased publication of its print publication and will soon shut down this Web site. We tried a variety of ways to survive but our efforts could not overcome the effects of the bruised national economy.
The September print issue, its content available below, will circulate through its regular channels throughout September, but then that will be the end of it. I have enjoyed my seven years — 60 issues! — as editor and designer of Inside/Outside Southwest. It has been a great opportunity to serve you, Dear Reader, by working with a variety of talented writers, photographers and illustrators who share with you an excitement and passion for the outdoors, recreation and culture of the Four Corners region of the Southwest. I love this magazine, and I hope you find it in your hearts to keep its spirit alive by taking to the Four Corners with gusto, with care, with hope — and with love, too.
Farewell,
Jan Nesset
Editor in Chief
September 2010 Issue

Gnawing The Bone
by Ken WrightJuly/August 2007
I'll admit it: Even after living in and wandering around Colorado for more than 25 years, I hadn't been there before.
And even after some recent visits, I have to say that I haven't been deep into the heart of it, or even seen much of
it.

Climbing
The Ames Ice Hose
story and photos by Jared OgdenDecember/January 2006
In 1976 when ice climbing was advancing by quantum leaps in style, difficulty, and equipment, Colorado climbers
Michael Kennedy, Steve Shea and Lou Dawson were leading the charge with a first ascent of the Ames Ice Hose. The
600-foot route, located on the Ames Wall near Telluride, Colo., rarely forms up with enough ice to climb and is
notorious for a very thin if not ethereal first
