Power of Climbing
January 28, 2019, 04:11:30 pm
Found this a while back and read it to death - time to pass it on. Guess a lot of you already know all about it, but for those who don't it's an ace book with some excellent interviews with some of the greats and the lesser known names in climbing, featuring some great photography.

I don't think I've seen it for that cheap Dan, unless it's an ebook or something?

They seem to be going for around a tenner plus postage, so I'll bring it down to £10 :)

I must have got my copy for a bargain then, but to be fair, quite a lot of the pages were stuck together  :shrug:

I had a YYFY last November when I shared a ledge with both Jibe and Phil Davidson at the same time in Siurana

Can’t remember, not many I expect. Black Magic for sure, worth it for nostalgia of those days alone.

That's a shame, I've ticked far more climbers in PoC than I have routes in RCiB

I bought a copy of this again recently and wondered where they all are now.

For some it’s obvious as they are still about and climbing or doing stuff associated with it, for others, sadly, they are no longer with us but what about the rest?

This book truly inspired me through the years.

What counts as a  "tick"

It depends who you talk to, ethics are very much a personal thing. I'm happy with just an exchange of pleasantries but I'm worried that by saying that I'll receive a load of foul mouthed invective from Fiend and that only  :lets_do_it_wild: counts.

We probably need someone to write a UKC article to be certain.
