Not since George Meyer’s iconic Yosemite Climber (1979) has a single volume captured the modern ethos, in word, image and design, of the 'Mecca' of world rock climbing: Yosemite Valley. From Skinner and Piana's first free ascent of El Capitan, to Alex Honnold’s free solo ascent of Half Dome, The Valley Climbers: Yosemite’s Vertical Revolution, chronicles the most seminal climbs of the modern era, climbs that revolutionized the face of world rock climbing in particular, and adventure sports in general. Struck to life by fifteen first-person narratives (from Tommy Caldwell, Alex Honnold, Thomas Huber, Steph Davis, Lynn Hill, Dean Potter, Beth Rodden, and others) over a hundred spectacular photographs, and cast in the timeless - museum design - particular to Stonemaster Press. Large format hardback. 168 pages. Edited by John Long, published and distributed by Stonemaster Press.
