A Canvas of Rock transports the reader through two of the most
influential periods in modern British rock-climbing as seen through
the eyes one of the UK's well-respected rock climbers - Mark
Radtke. This collection of personal experiences and friendships
with climbers from the 1970s to the present day, provides a rare
insight and first-hand account on some of the crucial and at times
contentious episodes that paved the way to today's rock-climbing
scene. We are also treated to insights of the man himself - his
passion and his drive that have allowed him to challenge his limits
and to pioneer many new Extreme routes. 'Rad shows us his own
frailties - his vertigo, his occasional bursts of egocentricity -
and this makes him a convincing guide. It is a great read, full of
humour and drama, but at the same time it is a wise and important
contribution to the ongoing debate of climbing ethics. Where
slipping into the comfort zone does not and must not equal
progress.' From Foreword by Andy Cave
