'The idea of owning anything except the experience is hubris.’ In Unknown Pleasures, acclaimed climber and writer Andy Kirkpatrick presents a compelling anthology of essays, storie s, and personal reflections. This collection dives into themes such as climbing, fatherhood, mental health, relationships, and the struggle for meaning in a fast‑changing world. From solo ascents of Troll Wall in Norway to guiding his teenage daughter Ella up El Capitan, to confronting grief, creativity, media, and the absurdities of modern life, Kirkpatrick’s writing is raw, insightful, provocative, and at times uncomfortably funny. Page length: 256 pages (paperback and hardback editions) Publisher: Vertebrate Publishing Ltd (UK) Publication date: Hardcover: March 1, 2018 Show more
