Schooled by Rock describes climbing as a pilgrimage into the heart of the world, through intimate interaction with stone and mountains.


This beautifully written book tracks two decades in a climber’s journeying. The compulsion gives direction, and offers a kind of curriculum for learning about life – an alternative education gained from climbing, and that up-close interaction with nature.
Illustrated with his son’s fine drawings, this engaging story explores such universal themes as family, friendship, mastery, aging and the future - and the transformative power of rock climbing.
