‘A compelling read. Zofia’s fearless approach to climbing history sees them take on the status quo, effortlessly shining a light on under-represented topics – women/gender, elitism, the average climber – and bringing climbing right up to the current day. The perfect addition to any climbing backpack!’ – Sasha DiGiulian
