Jerry Moffatt : Revelations

Grand Prize Winner, Banff Mountain Book Festival 2009. When Jerry Moffatt burst onto the scene as a brash 17-year-old, rock climbing had never seen anyone like him before.Fiercely ambitious, even as a boy Moffatt was focussed on one thing: being the best in the world.This is the story of his meteoric rise to stardom, and how he overcame injury to stay at the top for over two decades.Top sport-climber, brilliant competitor and a pioneer in the new game of bouldering, Moffatt's story is that of climbing itself in the last thirty years.Yet Jerry Moffatt is more than a dedicated athlete. Travelling the world to fulfil his dreams, Revelations is a compelling and often hilarious account of the climbing community with all its glories, dangers and foibles, as well as the story of a true sporting legend.
