Cliffhanger

Long confined to the fringes of unusual hobbies, climbing has undergone a generational transformation that has made it a true cultural phenomenon. From bouldering to sport climbing, Cliffhanger explores the most striking aspects of this fascinating activity. Julie Ellison embarks on a world tour and shares climbing anecdotes from the Alps and Patagonia, or follows the thriving bouldering scene in Virgin Gorda.

With striking images and in-depth stories, this book offers a comprehensive look at this world — both a sport and a way of life — highlighting the people, places, history, and culture that make climbing so unique. Whether you’ve been climbing for years or have never touched a hold, this book will make your palms sweat and your heart race.
