At the end of january 2009 a new book from Jerry Moffat has been published. According to the UKC forums on the UKclimbing.com website "Jerry gives a first-hand account of what it takes to be the best: the ups and downs, the extraordinary level of dedication to training and climbing, the iconic characters of the time (Wolfgang Güllich, Kurt Albert, Ron Kauk, John Bachar, Ben Moon, Jean Baptiste Tribout – legends in their own right) that Jerry climbed with and with whom he wrote rock climbing history. As Jerry travelled, the story travels with him. To the gritstone outcrops and limestone dales of the Peak District, the mountain crags and limestone cliffs of North Wales, the south of France, the Frankenjura in Germany, Yosemite, Joshua Tree and Colorado in the USA, Africa and Australia – all major stops in a climbing career littered with cutting edge first ascents and lightning-quick repeats of local testpieces.It sounds like a good reason to buy the book an read the story yourself (Click this link to buy the book). Perhaps Jerry can be persuaded by the guys from Bl.adO.verK.limmen to come to MONK and give an additional lecture there!!
