BOOK SUMMARY
When Jerry Moffatt burst onto the scene as a cheeky seventeen-year-old lad, the sport of rock climbing had never before met a character like him. Intensely ambitious, from his adolescence, Moffatt focused on a single goal: to be the best climber in the world.
This is the story of his meteoric rise to stardom, and how he overcame his injuries to remain for more than two decades among the best climbers in the world. Fantastic sports climber, brilliant competitor, and a pioneer in that new game that was block climbing, Moffatt’s history has become, in reality, the very history of climbing in the last thirty years. That is why among these pages their string and life partners such as Wolfgang Güllich, Kurt Albert, John Bachar, Ben Moon, Ron Kauk … among others will also parade.
Tireless traveler around the world, his story is the captivating, and often hilarious, account of the climbing community, with all its glories, dangers, and oddities, and also the story of a true sports legend who made climbing a philosophy of lifetime.
This book was the 2009 Banff Mountain Book Festival Grand Prize Winner and 2009 Boardman Tasker Prize finalist.
