Spirit of the rock

With the experience and passion of a seasoned Yosemite climber, Ron Kauk uses
concise vignettes to share his thoughts on the natural world and our
collective responsibility to care for the planet upon which we all rely.
Peppered throughout Kauk`s insightful observations are practical applications,
lessons really, culled from twenty-five years spent dangling from sheer rock
walls and granite overhangs around the world.

These are lessons that relate not only to climbing but to life itself–always practice next to the ground,
have an eye for the line, and learn how to read the cracks. Contemplating
nature, climbing, rock, and spirit, this climbing legend offers an
inspirational book filled with breathtaking photography and original writing.
