Wilder Magazine

13 July 2021

In this fifth edition of Wilder Magazine, we focus on East Africa’s mountain and rock climbing scene. Storyteller and adventurer, James Farr, documents a rare ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro’s jagged Mawenzi Peak. Environmental photojournalist, Kang-Chun Cheng, explores the culture of climbing and outdoor participation in Kenya. Also in Kenya, we feature the inaugural Migration Gravel Race — a gruelling, 650-kilometre gravel cycling race across the Maasai Mara landscape. In our new Portfolio series, we profile talented Kenyan travel and landscape photographer, Trevor Maingi. Moving out of East Africa, Aaron Rolph and his British Adventure Collective team tackle the Welsh 3000ers challenge — summiting 15 peaks above 3,000 feet within 24 hours. For our Wilder Interview, we speak to world-renowned explorer, writer and photographer, Levison Wood, about his new book, The Art of Exploration. David Dinsley, warden of The Oa reserve on Scotland’s Isle of Islay, narrates his encounters with enigmatic birds of prey. We feature another tasty meal in our newly vegetarian, outdoor cooking Wilder Recipes series, by Kieran Creevy. And finally, explorer and ultracyclist, Axel Carion, pedals across the stunning and extreme landscapes of Bolivia.
