A Canvas of Rock transports the reader through two of the most influential
\nperiods in modern British rock-climbing as seen through the eyes one of the
\nUK’s well-respected rock climbers – Mark Radtke. <\/p>\n
This collection of personal experiences and friendships with climbers from the
\n1970s to the present day, provides a rare insight and first-hand account on
\nsome of the crucial and at times contentious episodes that paved the way to
\ntoday’s rock-climbing scene. We are also treated to insights of the man
\nhimself – his passion and his drive that have allowed him to challenge his
\nlimits and to pioneer many new Extreme routes. <\/p>\n
‚Rad shows us his own frailties – his vertigo, his occasional bursts of
\negocentricity – and this makes him a convincing guide. It is a great read,
\nfull of humour and drama, but at the same time it is a wise and important
\ncontribution to the ongoing debate of climbing ethics.‘ From Foreword by Andy
\nCave <\/p>\n
Mark Radtke (Rad) is a well- known character in the UK’s rock climbing scene
\nhaving spent the last thirty years pitting himself against hard extreme routes
\naround the world and adding to the rich tapestry of climbing with a plethora
\nof first ascents of his own. He embraces climbing in all its forms, but in his
\ndebut book reveals how adventure lies at the heart and soul of the experience.
