Hangdog Days
Author: Jeff Smoot
Publisher: Mountaineers Books
ISBN: 1680512331
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Fast-paced history-cum-memoir about rock climbing in the wild-and-wooly ’80s Highlights ground-breaking achievements from the era Hangdog Days vividly chronicles the era when rock climbing exploded in popularity, attracting a new generation of talented climbers eager to reach new heights via harder routes and faster ascents. This contentious, often entertaining period gave rise to sport climbing, climbing gyms, and competitive climbing--indelibly transforming the sport. Jeff Smoot was one of those brash young climbers, and here he traces the development of traditional climbing “rules,” enforced first through peer pressure, then later through intimidation and sabotage. In the late ’70s, several climbers began introducing new tactics including “hangdogging,” hanging on gear to practice moves, that the old guard considered cheating. As more climbers broke ranks with traditional style, the new gymnastic approach pushed the limits of climbing from 5.12 to 5.13. When French climber Jean-Baptiste Tribout ascended To Bolt or Not to Be, 5.14a, at Smith Rock in 1986, he cracked a barrier many people had considered impenetrable. In his lively, fast-paced history enriched with insightful firsthand experience, Smoot focuses on the climbing achievements of three of the era’s superstars: John Bachar, Todd Skinner, and Alan Watts, while not neglecting the likes of Ray Jardine, Lynn Hill, Mark Hudon, Tony Yaniro, and Peter Croft. He deftly brings to life the characters and events of this raucous, revolutionary time in rock climbing, exploring, as he says, “what happened and why it mattered, not only to me but to the people involved and those who have followed.”

If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s taking life lessons to heart. One problem remains: His best friend and my best friend are engaged. It’s why we waited as long as we did for that awful date. Now we need to team up to help plan a quickie wedding, because when your bestie needs a favor, you come prepared, no matter who you have to team up with. If only the attraction didn’t spark back to life, making this planning business a whole lot more fun than expected. It’s hot as hell, and Grant’s climbing all my walls, right into my heart, until I discover the addiction in his past.
