Collected writing on life, death, climbing and everything in between…<\/p>\n
«The idea of owning anything except the experience is hubris.» Unknown
\nPleasures is a collection of works by the climber and award-winning author
\nAndy Kirkpatrick. Obsessed with climbing and addicted to writing, Kirkpatrick
\nis a master storyteller. Covering subjects as diverse as climbing,
\nrelationships, fatherhood, mental health and the media, it is easy to read,
\nsometimes difficult to digest, and impossible to forget.<\/p>\n
One moment he is attempting a rare solo ascent of Norway’s Troll Wall, the
\nnext he is surrounded by the TV circus while climbing Moonlight Buttress with
\nthe BBC’s The One Show presenter Alex Jones. Yosemite’s El Capitan is ever-
\npresent; he climbs it alone – strung out for weeks, and he climbs it with his
\nthirteen-year-old daughter Ella – her first big wall.<\/p>\n
His eye for observation and skilled wordcraft make for laugh-out-loud funny
\nmoments, while in more hard-hitting pieces he is unflinchingly honest about
\npast and present love and relationships, and pulls no punches with an
\nalternative perspective of our place in the world.<\/p>\n
Unknown Pleasures is Andy Kirkpatrick at his brilliant best.<\/p>\n
