In Moving the Needle, Dave MacLeod unfolds his extraordinary journey from a modest climber in Glasgow to making the first ascent of Rhapsody on Dumbarton Rock - a trad route rated E11 and the hardest of its kind in the world at the time. Through candid storytelling and vivid visuals, MacLeod reveals how accessible habits, mental strategies, and deliberate training propelled him to elite performance. Rich in insight and inspiration, the book doubles as a personal memoir and a practical guide designed to help climbers elevate their own game. Full‑colour throughout with 143 photographs and a foreword by Dave Cuthbertson, this large‑format hardcover blends adventure, expertise, and transformation.
