Following the publication of his autobiography Revelations, rock climbing legend Jerry Moffatt will be giving a multimedia slideshow at The Climbing Academy in Bristol on Sunday 15 March.
About Jerry
A force in world rock climbing in the 1980s and 1990s, Jerry not only dominated the crags at home in the UK, with cutting edge routes such as Master’s Wall and Liquid Ambar, he took his talent and drive to the crags of France, Germany the USA and Japan, repeating the hardest routes in fine style and establishing harder routes of his own. His ability to perform away from home, across a range of climbing disciplines that included the competition circuit, has led many to regard him as the greatest rock climber ever.
In his lectures and his new book, Jerry gives a first-hand account of what it takes to be the best: the ups and downs, the extraordinary level of dedication to training and climbing, the iconic characters of the time (Wolfgang Güllich, Kurt Albert, Ron Kauk, John Bachar, Ben Moon, Jean Baptiste Tribout – legends in their own right) that Jerry climbed with and with whom he wrote rock climbing history.
As Jerry travelled, the story travels with him. To the gritstone outcrops and limestone dales of the Peak District, the mountain crags and limestone cliffs of North Wales, the south of France, the Frankenjura in Germany, Yosemite, Joshua Tree and Colorado in the USA, Africa and Australia – all major stops in a climbing career littered with cutting edge first ascents and lightning-quick repeats of local testpieces.
