Jerry Moffatt – Revelations :: January 2009
December 22, 2008, 01:00:21 pm


When I was a kid, everyone seemed to know what they wanted to do, and it was usually what their dads had done. ‘I want to be a doctor,’ or ‘I want to be a teacher.’ I was no exception. When people asked me what I would be, I also had an answer.
‘I’m going to be a crag rat.’



It's finished. Jerry's story, from start to finish. From traversing on the back of a wall at school, to his first real climbs on Craig y Forwyn, to ruling Tremadog with Andy Pollitt, to owning Stoney, crushing the US and more and more and more and more. Climbers don't come much more inspirational than Jerry. Hats off to Jerry and Grimer - they've done a great job.

The book will be out in the last week in January. Signed copies are available direct from Vertebrate.

the main picture link for me doesn't work, directs to:
http://www.v-outdoor.co.uk/products/climbing_mountaineering/jerry_moffatt_revelations.php
which appears to be non-plus.

My mistake I'd hovered over the book and noticed the alt="Preorder" text appear and clicked on that which led to the 404 (at the URL dave lists).  Clicking on the Preorder text below works though (apologies for the confusion).

Will that pre-order automagically be signed?

The perfect cover. Jerry topless, lycra, lasers, gritstone and not a pad in sight!

I bumped into Grimer at Tesco's on Saturday. He said not to bother buying this book as he had to make most of it up coz Jerry didn't have much to say.

DID HE BOLLOCKS!

Sounded like it was a good use of Jerry's mouth and Grimer's fingers (J talking; G writing).

Should be a cracking good read

Surely the title should be:  Jerry Moffatt - Ulysses    :bow:

That title might lead to some confusion between literary heavyweights.

There would be Ulysses, the all-time classic 'stream of conciousness' book, penned by a surreal Irishman who walked the fine line between genius and incomprehensible.

And then you'd also have Joyce's nonsense, with the same name.

Indeed, Simon. But as Molly would have said, Don't forget to bring my Bloomin quickdraws back with you!

I've left them hanging on the Christmas tree outside Bristol Town Hall. Yours are the ones with the Wild Country wires on.

Privileged position that i am in i've just read the pre print manuscript - it is superb - a true insight into a top performing athlete, as well as a 'one of us' tale about what is like to go climbing.... The book is an inspiration as well as a great story.
