Unknown Pleasures

Collected Writing on Life, Death, Climbing and Everything in Between

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Having struggled with dyslexia at school, Andy Kirkpatrick turned to climbing, developing a preference for challenging routes such as El Capitan. In addition to writing about broader issues including relationships, fatherhood and mental health, this collection reflects on the emotional contrast between a solo ascent of Norway’s Troll Wall and being filmed climbing Utah’s Moonlight Buttress for The One Show.
