Utah Sport Climbing

Stories and Reflections on the Bolting of the Beehive State

By Darren M. Edwards

$21.99

Publication Date: 27th March 2017

Not much drives passionate debate in Utah more than public land use. And sport climbing is securely tethered to that controversy as more thrill-seekers gear up each year to ascend the state's geological wonders. From the bolt wars in Moab to the frenzied route development in American Fork Canyon, Utah remains central in the evolution of the sport. With over sixty interviews and a healthy dose of humor, climber and author Darren M. Edwards tracks the spirit, ethos and feats of bolters who have led the way since the 1980s.

    Author Bio
    Darren M. Edwards is a writer, photographer and educator living in southern Utah. When he's not giving poetry performances, busy doing a photo session, working on writing a book or teaching a class, he enjoys cuddling with his dogs, his son or his wife--and, on some very magical days, all of them together.
