Me, Myself & I is an in-depth study of the dark art of big wall roped soloing, written for climbers who want to make their dreams/nightmare climbs come true; or for out-and-out technique nerds. It is the most specialised big wall instruction book ever written for climbers. Rope soloing will be undertaken by less than 1% of climbers, yet these skills open up the potential for the equivalent of an 'Iron Man' for climbers, to scale the biggest walls - alone and safely.
The book draws on twenty years of experience as a big wall climber, with over thirty ascents of El Cap, as well as five solo ascents, including The Sea of Dreams (A4), South Seas (A4), Aurora (A4) and The Reticent Wall (A4+).
Although aimed at roped soloing, the book will cover many, many subjects that cross over into rock climbing, alpinism and mountaineering - as well as the training and psychology involved, making it relevant to anyone who has an active interest in these areas.
This all-new edition is considerable expansion on earlier editions, providing a state-of-the-art insight into the big wall rope soloing in the 21st century.
Illustrated with monochrome photographs and diagrams.
