The problem is', said Jon Bassindale, `that too much of what is written is about climbs, not about climbing.' Richard Sale agreed with him, and together they set out to produce a book about the experience, the reality, of rock-climbing as the climber knows it. Jon Bassindale and Annette Jones are young enthusiasts whose ability places them towards the top of the spectrum of weekend climbers. In this diary they describe the climbs that stimulated most emotion - whether of fear, frustration, pleasure, awe, exhaustion or excitement. They climbed in many different parts of England and Wales, in a variety of moods and weather conditions. Their vivid, racy, and revealing accounts perfectly communicate the heightened emotional intensity of the climber. Richard Sale and Kevin Bassindale's photographs, which illustrate the text, are among the most thrilling rock-climbing pictures ever taken. Close-ups portray in intimate and graphic detail the effort of hand, arm and foot clinging to the rock, the agony of concentration; long shots depict the dizzying sweep of cliff, the landscape far below. This is a book for climbers of every grade, as well as for those who, never having tried it, are curious to know at second hand something of the rock-climber's elation. Size: Sm 4to.
