Andy Kirkpatrick Bücher

Andy Kirkpatricks Biografie ist mehr als die atemberaubende Schilderung einer Kletterei auf Messers Schneide – es ist die Geschichte einer Selbstfindung auf einem extremen Lebensweg: Vom Rand der Gesellschaft in die Randzonen am Berg. Literarisch brillant erzählt er von seinen Abenteuern auf den anspruchsvollsten Technorouten der Welt, wie der »Reticent Wall« im Yosemite Valley, seinem Ringen um die Sprache, das Erlebte zu erzählen, und von der Schwierigkeit, seine Passion und sein Familienleben zu vereinen. Sympathisch, ehrlich und intim beschreibt er seinen Kampf um einen Platz im Leben und um den nächsten Meter Fels.
