It’s like a manual of How Not to Climb, but well written and entertaining.
From cutting your partner off a tether, to literally crawling through shit and snorting Ajax you paid cocaine money for, it’s an encyclopaedia of how not-to.
Incredible he lived to write the book, let alone a sequel. It wasn’t as good though, I think the Ajax fucked his writing skills. Although with no noticeable detriment to his lack of climbing skills.
