In Slate's Hands
July 24, 2012, 12:04:03 pm
This week I was sent a link to a very insightful blog piece focussing on Mark Goodwin's brilliant poem and climbing guidebooks (such as Llanberis Slate).

I thought it was really interesting to read a non climber's perspective on how we celebrate, describe and map our climbs.

Nice

(Could be combined with the Quality Chuffing Articles, as could most of the pieces from the Slate guide itself if they were online)
