Andy Kirkpatrick is one of the funniest of Britain’s top climbers and
represents what is best in modern climbing: boldness, innovation, sense of
humour, commitment, and an appetite for risk.
The author has climbed some of the hardest routes in the Alps and has
mountaineered around the world, including Patagonia in winter – here he has
written a challenging autobiography, the centrepiece of which is his famed
thirteen-day solo ascent of Reticent Wall on El Capitan in Yosemite.
