Andy Pollitt is as close to a Hollywood A-lister as the climbing
world will ever get. He had the looks, and he starred in all the
big roles in the 1980s and 1990s - Tremadog, Pen Trwyn, the big
Gogarth climbs, Raven Tor and the cult Australian adventures.
Alongside co-stars like Jerry Moffatt, John Redhead and Malcolm
'HB' Matheson, he brought us sexy climbing - gone were the beards,
the woolly socks and the fibre pile. Andy was all skin-tight pink
Lycra, vests and brooding looks. For those watching, Andy Pollitt
had it all. But Punk in the Gym gives us the whole truth. The
self-doubt, the depression, the drinking, the fags, the womanising,
the injuries, the loss of a father and the trouble that brings, and
a need for something - for recognition, a release for the pain,
and, for Andy, more drinking, more tears, bigger run-outs.With
nothing held back, Andy tells his roller-coaster story from the UK
to Australia, exactly as it happened. Exposing his fragile ego and
leaving us to laugh, cry, marvel and judge, this is a sports
autobiography like no other. The legendary routes are all here -
The Bells, The Bells!, Skinhead Moonstomp, The Hollow Man, Boot
Boys, The Whore of Babylon and Knockin' on Heaven's Door. And the
route that broke him and robbed the climbing world of its Hollywood
star - Punks in the Gym.
