Pretty psyched to be getting a limited run of these Crack Climbing posters soon, which shows the illustrations that are in the book. I've had numerous folk telling me how great the illustrations look and it's all down to the skill of @alexpoyzer . There will only be 100 copies of these and I'll be bringing them to Kendal Mountain Film Festival in 2 weeks time. To get a copy you give a donation and all proceeds go to the Alpkit Foundation Charity . Thanks to @alexpoyzer for designing and all his hard work with the Illustrations Thanks @mike.hutton.771 for the use of the Recovery Drink Image on the other side of the poster. Thanks @alpkit for sponsoring the poster . Look forward to seeing a copy myself. . Any posters that are left from Kendal i will be bringing on my UK speaking tour in March, where donations can be given. . #crackclimbing #kendalmountainfilmfestival #climbing #cracktechnique #crackisback

Dance move name suggestions please...? . As well as going through all the text within the book, I've been looking through all the illustrations and checking pressure points, rotational, twisting, expansion arrows and movement direction. Still a couple of little tweaks to be made but we're nearly there . Within the book I've tried to explain technique, positioning and movement using both words and visuals. The illustrations give an overview, whereas the text goes more in depth on how to execute all these bizarre things. .

Anyone know the name of this? . I've been full on book proofing this last month, for my up coming book 'Crack Climbing'. Making sure everything is correct and adding those last valuable gems of info. . There are around 150 of these amazing illustrations by @alexpoyzer (some simple, and some slightly more obscure) which help to give a good understanding at a briefer glance. However within the text I go into alot more depth on alternate techniques, body positioning and movement skills, how to execute it all correctly (step by step), and why you might do so in a certain way, to help give a better understanding. My thinking here is, if you gain a solid understanding you are then able to figure future scenarios out and learn by yourself. . For those that are psyched I've also added 'book editing' stories to my profile, which I will keep up to date with progress leading up to release time. . Thanks @vertebrate_publishing and @mtnbooks I'm psyched to see this coming together now. . The finished book, I believe, should be available in Autumn this year 👍 . #crackclimbing #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering #boulder #climbing #klatring #klettern #escalade #climbingworldwide #crackclimbingtechnique #itsallinthetechnique

Straight from yosemite big walls and back to working on the Crack Climbing book (to be published 2019) with @vertebrate_publishing . Running through all the illustrations today ready to link drawings to text. Here we're annotating the illustration which John coined "man trapped behind pane of glass" 😂 brilliant! . We also came across and annotated,the Trout Tickler, The Golfers Grip and The Invert Torpedo today. Just your standard day in the office 😎 . @mtnbooks #cracktechnique #crackclimbing #climb #troutticklers

Something I've been working on for over two years now, is a technique book for crack climbing. . I felt like there wasnt a resource of information about this subject that covered absolutely everything. Seeing as though I felt like I had a mountain of information in my head about crack technique, I thought it would be fun to try and share it all. I wanted to provide a resource, where if you wanted to find out something about crack climbing, you would find it here; a complete guide. . As I've worked on the book, I've actually learnt things myself, so I'm hoping that no matter what your ability is there will be new things and information for everyone to learn from. Even if you don't learn any new techniques, hopefully it will help you realise why you use them in specific ways, therefore have a positive impact on your climbing. . It's still in the process of being completed. Here you can see @alexpoyzer doing an amazing job of 1 of the many illustrations that are in there. Nice one Alex. . @vertebrate_publishing #crackclimbing #climbing #klatring #klettern #escalade #climbing_pictures_of_instagram

イラストを眺めて、「なるほどねー」と納得したり、「ナニコレ？」と悩んだりしましょう。

僕のオススメは以下の通り。

23ページのフィンガー・バー。絶対痛い。

77ページのティーカップ・ジャム。絶対痛い。

79ページのThumb extension: full extension。絶対効かない。

128ページのTrout tickeler。効くの？

144ページのsidewinder。どうした？

182ページのfull invert。おい、どうした？

さて、どうでしょう？前回は写真を眺め、今回はイラストを眺め、本文には何が書かれてるのか、気になって仕方がないですよね。そんなあなたは、CRACK CLIMBINGを楽しむ準備が万端です。ではそろそろ文字に取り掛かりましょう。
