Jerry Moffatt: Revelations [B1279]

2009 HCDJ in excellent condition. When Jerry Moffatt burst onto the scene as a brash 17-year-old, rock climbing had never seen anyone like him before. Fiercely ambitious, even as a boy Moffatt was focused on one thing: being the best in the world. This is the story of his meteoric rise to stardom, and how he overcame injury to stay at the top for over two decades. Top sport climber, brilliant competitor and a pioneer in the new game of bouldering, Moffatt's story is that of climbing itself in the last thirty years. Yet Jerry Moffatt is more than a dedicated athlete. Travelling the world to fulfil his dreams, his story is a compelling and often hilarious account of the climbing community with all its glories, dangers and foibles, as well as the story of a true sporting legend. Grand Prize Winner - Banff Mountain Book Festival 2009.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Fascinating read. This book was for sure one of my favorites; the descriptions of the climbs felt like I was there climbing them. I absolutely loved the writing style as well, and would fully recommend this book to anyone who has a vague interest in climbing."; "Jerry Moffatt is an absolute mad lad, no further notes."; "Fascinating insight into the development of rock climbing in the 80's and 90's with one of the most successful and fiercest climbers of the era. Well written and carefully constructed, largely chronological, it is a good autobiography that has interesting stories about the key characters on the 'scene'."; "Loved the book, rock hard adventurous climber, going for his goal."
