Lyle Closs book

Sad self-promotion - I've produced a book of climbing stories from the last few decades which can be found here if you can be bothered blowing a large amount of money on a small book.

Sorry for the cost but I don't make any money on it - they are digitally printed on demand so aren't too cheap, but the printers are in the UK or Europe so post is dear too.

A couple of stories have also been re-printed here:

Some of the stories have apperared in Rock and Crux over the years, some are previously unpublished.

Cheers

Climbing on the Pipes

Video clips from Pete Steane of  old codgers having fun on the Pipes last year. Centaur and Raspberry Jam. (TCIA, referred to in the clips,  is the Tasmanian Climbing Instructors Association if you don't know!).
