Betamonkeys – the evolution of falling

‹Crap day at the crag? Muffed the last move of your project? Then you need
this book.
A Collection of climbing cartoons by Ed O’Grady

The Evolution of Falling takes us inside the unique, twisted and very funny
mind of genius cartoonist Ed o’Grady. Part psychologist part artist he
uncovers the hilarious truths at the heart of climbing.› Ian Parnell; ‹Is
climbing a sport? Is it a hobby, or a lifestyle. No, it’s just a waste of
time. And never has the pointlessness of our existence on rock and in climbing
walls been so sharply illustrated as in these cartoons by Betamonkeys. You’ll
laugh, you’ll cry… but always at yourself. Check them out; recognise
someone?› Niall Grimes

A first volume of cartoons from the cult climbing series Betamonkeys by Ed
O’Grady. This collection brings together the best cartoons from the first two
years of Betamonkeys.

About Ed O’Grady:
A long time climber, as well as inveterate people watcher, Ed’s ability to
capture the minutae of this climbing life is what sets him apart. «After many
years absence, I got back into climbing with my son and remembered just how
much I had missed it. And maybe it was the fact of starting over but I became
inspired to record, in the best way I know, my take on the trials and
tribulations of being a climber.»
