Jerry Moffatt - Revelations

By: Jerry Moffatt

Narrated by: Stewart Crank

When Jerry Moffatt burst onto the scene as a brash 17-year-old, rock climbing had never seen anyone like him before. Fiercely ambitious, even as a boy Moffatt was focused on one thing: being the best in the world. This is the story of his meteoric rise to stardom and how he overcame injury to stay at the top for over two decades.

Top sport climber, brilliant competitor, and a pioneer in the new game of bouldering, Moffatt's story is that of climbing itself in the last 30 years. Yet Jerry Moffatt is more than a dedicated athlete. Travelling the world to fulfill his dreams, his story is a compelling and often hilarious account of the climbing community with all its glories, dangers, and foibles as well as the story of a true sporting legend.

Amazing story, lackluster narration

Narrator mispronounces some of the most famous names and areas in rock climbing for the entire book.

Why so many mispronunciations!?!???

Great story, except mispronouncing John Bachar, Arete, hueco, etc is insane for a climbing book. Otherwise pretty decent.

Great for getting pysched

Blasted through this one, it flows easily and quickly. The only negative I would say is that the narrator mispronounces some important names and climbing jargon, but it’s not too bad.

best rock climbing specific book I've listened to

Don't pass this one up! You'll be hangboarding with your headphones in!!
