'The Zen of Climbing is a fascinating read. We are climbing our
best by paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and
nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment.
The book integrates different forms of practice for developing your
physical, cognitive, and mental domains. Highly recommended!'
*Udo Neumann, climber, coach, filmmaker, co-author of Performance
Rock Climbing*
'Between the start and finish of every climb, big or small, is a
vertical gulf we can see across but never fully chart beforehand.
The Zen of Climbing provides a peerless working model of how to
embrace the unknown, cross that gulf and come to know the crazy
wonderful sorcery of ascent.'
*John Long, author of more than forty books, storyteller,
stonemaster*
