Bullock, one of the UK’s most outstanding climbers, presents his debut book. He escaped his life as a prison guard by discovering the mountains of Scotland and Wales. He has since traveled on over 20 expeditions from Pakistan to Peru in search of new routes and a new way of seeing the world. Bullock describes a number of climbs including Teng Kangpoche (Nepal), Meru Shark’s Fin (India), Savoia Kangri (Karakoram), Quitaraju Central Buttress (Peru), and Jirishanca SE Face (Peru).
In 2017 Bullock and Paul Ramsden were awarded the Piolet d’Or for their first ascent of the North Buttress of Nyainqentangla Southeast in Tibet. Shortlisted for 2013 Boardman-Tasker Award for Mountaineering Literature. Finalist 2013 Banff Mountain Book Festival Mountain & Wilderness Literature.
