Topo di falesia

When Jerry Moffatt, a cocky seventeen-year-old, hit the headlines, the climbing world had never seen anything like it. Moffatt, unwaveringly ambitious, was focused from a young age on one thing: becoming the best in the world. This is the story of his meteoric rise to climbing Olympus, and how he was able to overcome injuries to remain at the top for over twenty years. Top climber, brilliant athlete in competitions and pioneer of the new discipline of bouldering: his history coincides with that of sport climbing over the last thirty years, intertwining with that of the other great champions of the time: Wolfgang Güllich, Ben Moon, Ron Fawcett , Patrick Edlinger, François Legrand. However, Jerry Moffatt is more than an athlete with unyielding determination. His globetrotting adventures in search of the fulfillment of his dreams are a compelling and often hilarious portrait of the climbing environment, in all its splendors, dangers and fixations, as well as representing the story of a true sporting legend.
