Welcome to Quandary Magazine
My name is Cole, Adventure Writer and Editor of Quandary Magazine. This publication is for readers who love the outdoors, but have been let down by legacy media in the shift toward clickbait and web-articles written for search engines, not humans.
Here, we put special emphasis on telling quality stories, sharing the hidden gems and spotlighting the mountain heroes working magic to keep the wild spirit alive — all published independently in print.
To learn more about me, the Mag, and the mission, head over to our About Page.
