Stone Crusade A Historical Guide to Bouldering in America

Stone Crusade transcends the climbing guidebook genre. Blending history and commentary with information on all the major U.S. bouldering areas, John Sherman has created the definitive bouldering book. He shows how bouldering began, provides its masters, explains the ethics, and reveals why bouldering is the poetry of mountaineering. With an irreverent style, Sherman demonstrates his keen ear for wonderfully outrageous stories told by local climbers, as well as his photographic talent. An invaluable reference for aspiring climbers, stone gymnasts, or armchair mountaineers.Sherman, John is the author of 'Stone Crusade A Historical Guide to Bouldering in America', published 1994 under ISBN 9780930410575 and ISBN 0930410572.
