A collection of concise and enlightening essays and reflections on the art of bouldering, from the author of bestseller The Zen of Climbing.
More than a sport, bouldering is a craft that demands equal fine-tuning of the mind and body. It calls for total commitment and attentiveness. Here, climber, writer, and philosopher Francis Sanzaro brings the discipline into conversation with other sports and arts including architecture, dance, skateboarding, painting, parkour, martial arts, and gymnastics.
Sanzaro shows how the pursuit of bouldering is akin to developing a philosophy – something that can be nurtured and strengthened like a muscle, benefitting both body and soul.
The Craft of Bouldering will enrich and enhance your climbing and encourage you to appreciate the natural physicality and artful play of bouldering.
