Bad Climber by Strappo

A story of Struggle and Survival on the path to Climbing Mastery.

From one of our more colorful characters in climbing lore comes an epic, true story of sidestepping danger at every level of the game. From an early age, Strappo embarks upon the toughest of roads by teaching himself to lead rock climbs purely by reading an instructional book. That doesn't quite get him, but the French alps almost do. Beautifully crafted stories transport the reader to some of the wildest, most far-flung corners of the globe. From early bumblings around the crags of North Wales to the high stakes game of attempting first ascents in arenas such as Patagonia, Alaska, Pakistan and Venezuela. His 'edge of your seat' narrative will keep you enthralled right up to the last page!
