Large-format coffee-table book by Simon Carter.
Rock Odyssey is a photographic essay which follows modern day rock climbers to
far flung reaches of the world where they attempt the routes of their dreams.
A visual feast for its passengers, Rock Odyssey takes us on a breathtaking
voyage stopping at sixteen exceptional rock climbing destinations. From the
wild interior of Madagascar, Simon Carter gives us an eagle’s view high up on
the Tsaranoro Massif.
Off the coast of Vietnam, he explores limestone karsts
jutting from the glistening emerald-green waters of Ha Long Bay. Over on the
Greek isle of Kalymnos, he navigates us through the bewildering three
dimensional tufa jungles. The Dolomite’s wild alpine rock, Montserrat’s crazy
cobblestone towers and The Darran’s Jurassic wilderness are just some of the
other highlights along this spectacular circumnavigation of the globe.
World Climbing: Rock Odyssey, the welcomed sequel to Simon Carter’s award-
winning World Climbing: Images from the Edge, presents the finest images by
one of the world’s foremost climbing photographers.
