New Rock climbing book for kids

by Nick Smith 29th March 2008

Rock Climbing book cover Rock Climbing (Xtreme Sports) This is a short, colourful book aimed at children that was written by Kate Cooper ("gingerkate" on UKClimbing.com). It's packed full of interesting facts about climbing and includes some great pictures from all over the world, including some good historical shots of Joe Brown, Gwen Moffatt, etc.

I've got 15 images in the book, and it was great fun working with Kate to source the ideal shots. I wouldn't be a proper photographer if I didn't have a minor gripe about the reproduction quality of one of my photos in the book... Matt placing a nut on p.28 looks horribly pixellated, although my original is high resolution and pin-sharp. All my other photos look great though :)

You can buy a copy of the book on the Amazon website.
