A dramatic collection of photographs revealing the world’s most beautiful climbing locations, from Tsaranoro in Madagascar and Teplicke in Czechia to Mount Huashan in China. The popularity of rock climbing is burgeoning across the globe, with dedicated communities practicing everything from bouldering to sport climbing, top roping to free soloing, in awe-inspiring locations. The Art of Climbing showcases Simon Carter’s dramatic and often graphic photography, providing inspiration for aspirational outdoor climbers― anyone keen to graduate from inside climbing walls―and seasoned climbers alike. The main chapters evoke powerful themes―from Formations to Environment, Intensity to Flow―that exist at the intersection of sport and art. Thoughtful chapter texts, written by Carter and major names on the international climbing scene, narrate experiences on the rock face, exploring both the athletic and aesthetic value of climbing. A reference section includes practical details such as a glossary, grading table, and descriptions of ten selected routes. 229 color illustrations

Climbing Snaps
I looked through this book at a friend's house. I'm not buying it. The images show that the photographer could get into some precarious positions for photos, but there is no feeling of heart in them. Great photography evokes feelings and tells stories. The photography in this book does neither.

Perfect coffee table book for climbers
I bought this as a present for my partner. It's beautifully presented and great for climbing/travel inspiration. Haven't read it myself (yet!) so can't comment further.
