Alluring, smooth walls of rock, seemingly solid and unapproachable have always held a fascination for rock-climbers.
Scanning the rock wall from the bottom in search of cracks and crevices feeds the hunger for adventure and discovery,
inviting the climber to explore and find a way to the top.
The smell of the rock and moss, the texture of lichen under your fingers, as you move from one grip to the next …
unexpected handholds that the body somehow anticipates as it moves across the rock.
Granite, limestone, dolostone: different sensations demanding the same precision and scrutiny as you hone your skills, dancing over the rock to the rhythm of your breathing, with the rock in your fingers.
