Physical Description: x, 303 pages, 24 unnumbered pages of plates

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Rock climbing; Mountaineering; Women; Biography

Abstract: In this funny and gritty debut memoir, praised by Outside, Sierra, Alpinist, and more, Jan Redford grows from a reckless rock climber to a mother who fights to win back her future. As a teenager, she sets her sights on the improbable dream of climbing mountains. By age twenty, she’s a climber with a magnetic attraction to misadventures and the wrong men. Redford finally finds the love of her life, an affable Rockies climber. When he is killed in an avalanche in Alaska, a grieving Redford finds comfort in the arms of another extreme alpinist. Before long, they are married, with a baby on the way. While her husband works as a logger, Redford tackles the traditional role of wife and mother. But soon, she pursues her own dream, one that pits her against her husband. End of the Rope is Redford’s telling of heart-stopping adventures, from being rescued off El Capitan to leading a group of bumbling cadets across a glacier. It is her laughter-filled memoir of friendships with women in that masculine world. Most moving, this is the story of her struggle to make her own way in the mountains and in life. To lead, not follow. (from Counterpoint Press website)

Subjects: Rock climbing; Climbing; Poetry; Essays; Nature

Abstract: Through a mix of poetry, cartoons, essays, interviews, weavings, photographs and technical tips, A feeling for rock explores being bamboozled by a route, connecting with the landscape or flicking through a guidebook. The book ventures into ethical regions of bias and privilege and questions our relations with each other and the rock. Each chapter is headed by a different feeling - Love, Curiosity, Astonishment, Pain, Lust, Fear, Wonder and so on - conveying the emotional vividness of a climbing life. --Publisher's website.
