Customer Reviews

The original UK extreme rock climbing anthology. A classic.
Ken Wilson excelled himself with this coffee table book, which has inspired rock-climbers all over the Uk for the past 25 years.First class stories of ascents, written by climbers with an eye for human detail and humour. Photographs, many by Ken Wilson himself, are first rate and all in black and white.

Truly inspiring
This is a beautiful book. The photographs are mostly black and white but they are all of very high quality, extremely well composed, showing the fine positions that can be attained during the climbs. The route descriptions and anecdotes are incredible. I'm an HVS climber and this book creates an irresistible urge within me to break into the E grades! I can't wait to go out and try the routes myself! Highly recommended. You'll spend whole evenings analysing the routes carefully, imagining how it would feel to be up there ...
