Stone Play – The Art of Bouldering

Stone Play is a collection of writing and photography on the global phenomenon
of bouldering, documenting its historical roots and representing the
`problems` and philosophies of respected boulderers, from the legends of John
Gill, Pat Ament and Jacky Godoffe to modern rock-gods such as Dave MacLeod,
Bernd Zangerl and Klem Loskot.

Over 150 photographs and short essays take a circuit round the globe, from
Fontainebleau to New Zealand, highlighting what makes bouldering so addictive
and inspiring to the climber. History, landscape, technique and the future of
bouldering are all given due consideration by some of the most entertaining
writers and climbers on the planet. This book will tempt you to cast your
ropes aside!
