History

Skram Media was established in 2004 as the platform for a portfolio of specialist consumer sports magazines and websites. The first, Urban Climber Magazine (urbanclimbermag.com), was launched in 2004 and is now the leading youth-focused climbing magazine. UCTV (myUCTV.com) was launched in early 2006 and is now the leading online site for climbing film and video entertainment. Climbing Magazine, the largest circulation climbing magazine in the country, was acquired in late 2006. In 2008, Skram Media acquired Mountain Gazette, diversifying the Company into a multi-sport mountain publisher. Combined Urban Climber Magazine, urbanclimbermag.com, UCTV, Climbing, climbing.com, Mountain Gazette, and mountaingazette.com, make Skram Media one of the leading independent enthusiast media companies in outdoor sports.

As well as growing existing magazines and websites, Skram Media’s future plans include the launch of new magazines, acquisitions, brand extensions and the further development of digital media to expand the magazines’ reach and relevance to their target audiences.
