The White Cliff is a collection of writings about the best sea
cliff in the world: Gogarth. This book has a historical narrative
into which are embedded essays by various protagonists. The book is
not just about the place, though. The climbers who have been drawn
to touch the stone of Gogarth have often been the best of their
generation and have pioneered amazing routes elsewhere. The book is
also about their personal stories of life and death. It details the
history of the exploration of the cliff in the context of the time
period, climbing standards and the development of equipment and
techniques. In the process, it touches on a myriad of related
issues. The chapters are structured by area. Most of the essays and
images are previously unpublished but some have appeared before in
books, magazines, or journals. Grant Farquhar has been climbing for
over 35 years. Currently resident (and climbing) in Bermuda, he was
highly active on Gogarth in the 90s and despite living faraway has
retained his affection for the place. The book includes
contributions from over 100 Gogarth pioneers including Martin
Boysen, Joe Brown, Pete Crew, Henry Barber, Arnis Strapcans, Dave
Durkan, Geoff Birtles, John Cleare, Leo Dickinson, Ed Drummond,
Richard McHardy, Doug Scott, Smiler Cuthbertson, Mick Fowler, Pat
Littlejohn, Ron Fawcett, Geoff Milburn, Jim Moran, John Redhead,
Dave Towse, Glenda Huxter, Johnny Dawes, Paul Pritchard, Stevie
Haston, Andy Pollitt, Steve Andrews, Twid Turner, Adam Wainwright,
George Smith, Glenn Robbins, Tim Emmett, Neil Dickson, Jules Lines,
Nick Bullock, Alex Mason, Emma Twyford, James McHaffie and Tom
Livingstone.
