UKC

Hi there,

Has anybody ever came across any climbing art? Does anybody know any artists who are portraying climbing? Films and books are well represented, is anybody writing poetry, painting, sculpting... Anything? Maybe someone has done a nice paint job on a bouldering wall or bespoke gothic hand carved climbing holds? Does anybody have any ideas how it could?

Please discuss.

We all know climbing is an art in itself, but lets try and keep away from that debate.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your post I really enjoyed looking at this fella's stuff have you ever seen any of it in the flesh? Can you climb on it generally?

In reply to pacjware: thinking about trying a few this year, if I can find time, but all depends upon the salability. Good luck in your search though.

I have done a couple of climbing pics, but I also do animal pictures, not very good at faces though, I find them quite difficult to do.
