Tracing the historical legacy of bouldering, it illustrates  why bouldering must now be considered a climbing art in its own right.

It is  illustrated throughout with art-style photography of the best bouldering problems on the planet.

'Going anywhere this summer? enquired the brick-edge cruiser...  Dhaulagiri, said I... near Annapurna. The lad switched into a perfect crucifix from opposing finger locks. He looked down with disdain. Near Bolton is it? he said, heading for the weights.'
