I began to feel totally out of control. My feet smeared on little holds I hadn´t taken the trouble to clean fully while my fingers crimped desperately on barely-adequate flakes. By now, I was facing a monster fall, perhaps even hitting the ground. I carried on, terrified.“ Read the full UKC article: Master´s Wall The book is scheduled for release on the 26th January and is available to pre-order NOW.
