A dizzyingly beautiful presentation of the people and places that make up the
world of climbing.
Once hanging on the fringes of unusual pastimes, Climbing has undergone a
generational transformation—turning the sport into a cultural phenomenon. From
bouldering to sport climbing, Cliffhanger explores the most notable aspects of
this fascinating activity. Julie Ellison delves into a journey around the
globe sharing climbing anecdotes of the Alps and Patagonia or following the
flourishing bouldering scene in Virgin Gorda.
Using breathtaking imagery and in-depth stories, this book will give you a
complete look at the world of this outdoor pursuit—both as a sport and a
lifestyle—by highlighting the people, places, history, and culture that make
climbing so unique. Whether you’ve been doing it for a long time or have never
climbed in your life, this book will make your palms sweat and your heart
race.
