the history, the routes, the climbers<\/p>\n
Peak Rock is a celebration of significant developments at the cutting edge of
\nrock climbing in the Peak District, from the day that James W Puttrell first
\nset foot on rock at Wharncliffe in the late 19th century, through to modern
\nascents on the area’s gritstone and limestone crags. Meticulously researched
\nand written by a team of local authors.<\/p>\n
Meticulously researched and written by a team of local authors, this is the
\nstory of the sharp end of Peak District climbing as told through the words of
\nmany of the Peak’s – and the world’s – top climbers, including: James W
\nPuttrell, Jack Longland, Joe Brown, Don Whillans, Ed Drummond, Tom Proctor,
\nJohn Allen, Ron Fawcett, Andy Pollitt, Jerry Moffatt, Johnny Dawes, Ben Moon,
\nMiles Gibson, Pete Whittaker, Steve McClure, Ryan Pasquill and many more. The
\nlate Giles Barker first started work on Peak Rock – then titled Peak
\nPerformance – in the early 1980s, before progress was halted by his premature
\ndeath in 1992. It was almost twenty years before Phil Kelly picked up where
\nGiles left off, pulling together Giles‘ original research and interviews,
\nwhich were stored at the Mountain Heritage Trust.
\nPhil enlisted Graham Hoey to work on the book, updating the manuscript with
\ntheir own interview material and other primary source information, writing a
\nnumber of missing chapters and also adding a number of chapters, including the
\nsignificant developments of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Phil and Graham
\nbrought in a team of experienced Peak District climbers drawing on their
\nknowledge of specific developments – trad climbing, sport climbing,
\nbouldering, gritstone, limestone – and worked with them to develop individual
\nchapters. This resulting book on the history of Peak District climbing is the
\nmost comprehensive to be published since Eric Byne and Geoff Sutton’s High
\nPeak in 1966.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
