Betamonkeys by Ed O'grady

A first volume of cartoons from the cult climbing series Betamonkeys. This collection brings together the best cartoons from the first two years of Betamonkeys.
'Crap day at the crag? Muffed the last move of your project? Then you need this bookThe Evolution of Falling takes us inside the unique, twisted and very funny mind of genius cartoonist Ed o'Grady. Part psychologist part artist he uncovers the hilarious truths at the heart of climbing.' Ian Parnell; 'Is climbing a sport? Is it a hobby, or a lifestyle. No, it's just a waste of time. And never has the pointlessness of our existence on rock and in climbing walls been so sharply illustrated as in these cartoons by Betamonkeys. You'll laugh, you'll cry... but always at yourself. Check them out; recognise someone?' Niall Grimes
A long time climber, as well as inveterate people watcher, Ed's ability to capture the minutae of this climbing life is what sets him apart. After many years absence, I got back into climbing with my son and remembered just how much I had missed it. And maybe it was the fact of starting over but I became inspired to record, in the best way I know, my take on the trials and tribulations of being a climber.
