As well as this guide Stone Country have also released ‘Stone Play – The Art of Bouldering’

This is the first collection of bouldering writing and photography ever to have been published. It’s a global tour through the history of bouldering, including writing from as early as Oscar Eckenstein and Harold Raeburn, through to the modern era, including Klem Loskot, Jacky Godoffe, Bernd Zangerl and Dave MacLeod. We have Niall Grimes, John Palmer and Nick Dixon on the Peak; Geoff Dyer on Hampi; Tim Carruthers on Patagonia; Jacky Godoffe on Fontainebleau…. from the ‘golden age’ of American bouldering we have Pat Ament and John Gill… the list goes on. The book is an elegant landscape format with striking full colour and B&W photography throughout.
