Down is a ground breaking encyclopaedic study of the art of descent. Its purpose is to create a single source for all descent techniques, both the well-established pro climbers and those ideal for the novice climberThe book was written and illustrated over three years by award winning climber and writer Andy Kirkpatrick (Psychovertical, Cold Wars, 1001 Climbing Tips, Higher Education), and is based on four decades of epics, retreats and F**k-ups. At 80,000 words (400 pages) and 300 illustrations, this is both a labour of love and an important and timely book for a community that loses far too many climbers to rappelling accidents. Show more
