TIME ON ROCK (PB)

Anna Fleming charts two parallel journeys: learning the craft of traditional rock climbing, and the burgeoning appreciation of the natural world it brings her. Through the story of her progress from terrified beginner to confident lead climber, she shows us how placing hand and foot on rock becomes a profound new way to engage with the land. Anna takes us across Britain from the gritstone rocks of the Peak District and Yorkshire to the gabbro pinnacles of the Cuillin, the slate of North Wales and the high plateau of the Cairngorms.
