Hard Rock by Ken Wilson
First published in 1974, this is an anthology about British rock-climbing. 60 of the most famous climbs in the country are covered, including such classics as Cenotaph Corner, Central Buttress of Scafell and The Old Man of Hoy. Each route is described in essay form by a climber who relates his own experiences during an ascent, in the context of a discussion about the intricacies of the climb and its history. Large crag and action photos (many of which now have a period flavour) embellish each chapter. The climbs themselves, though long since overtaken in terms of difficulty, are almost all regarded as timeless classics and have a must do status for all serious climbers. In this new impression, notes are added about all the changes in grades and other improvements that have taken place in recent years, thus bringing the book up to date for the Nineties.
Wilson, Ken: - KEN WILSON was a friend and prayer partner of Phyllis Tickle. He authored A Letter to My Congregation: An Evangelical Pastor's Path to Embracing People who are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender, into the Company of Jesus (David Crumm Media). To practice full inclusion, he and Emily Swan co-founded Ann Arbor Blue Ocean Church and co-authored Solus Jesus: A Theology of Resistance. Ken has written in the field of spirituality, most notably Mystically Wired: Exploring New Realms in Prayer (Thomas Nelson, 2009) which Phyllis Tickle called hands down ... the best book on prayer I have ever read.
