Tears of the Dawn

Jules Lines is Britain’s most accomplished free solo climber. His quiet
demeanour and natural technique have earned him the unofficial title of ‹The
Dark Horse› in Scottish climbing circles.

In this, his first book, he recounts adventures and misadventures worldwide,
from early achievements – completing all 277 Munros (1987) whilst still at
school – to the continuing challenges of the present day. Spanning more than
three decades of extreme climbing, his reflections reveal the drive and
determination required for a human being to repeatedly gamble with his own
existence, and for it to become not only a way of life, but his entire raison
d’etre.
