The styling was deliberately improvised and authentic: we gathered old climbing gear from our parents’ basements — ropes, carabiners, jackets and harnesses with real marks of use. This not only gave the imagery a raw, personal touch but also highlighted the grassroots character of climbing itself.
Set against a bold red background, the cover strikes a balance between editorial design and playful irony. The result is a striking visual identity that positions Halt as both a serious magazine and a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the climbing lifestyle.
