Extreme Rock

Published in 1987, Ken Wilson and Bernard Newman's first edition of Extreme Rock achieved legendary status within the climbing community, featuring as it did a huge variety of cutting-edge rock climbing across England, Scotland and Wales.

Like its companion volume, Hard Rock (CNH524), this new edition of Extreme Rock follows the same format: part guidebook, part literary celebration - a visual showcase. Compiled by Grant Farquhar and blending new material with many of the original essays and photography, it bridges the intervening decades during which British and world climbing has undergone huge performance, technological, ethical and cultural change
