Sinopsis

Climbing Tactics explores the surprising applications of climbing skills beyond recreation, revealing their crucial role in survival situations, covert operations, and rescue missions. It demonstrates how mastering rope management, specialized climbing techniques, and environmental adaptation can provide a tactical advantage in diverse environments. For instance, advanced knot tying, anchor systems, and rappelling methods, typically used in rock climbing, are invaluable for rapid deployment and secure movement in urban infiltration or wilderness survival scenarios. The book highlights the importance of these skills, challenging the conventional perception of climbing as merely a sport. The book emphasizes practical applications through real-world case studies and expert insights from military personnel, search and rescue professionals, and seasoned climbers. It progresses from introducing fundamental climbing principles and essential gear to exploring advanced techniques adapted for non-traditional environments. This journey showcases how climbing proficiency extends beyond a recreational activity, offering a transferable, potentially life-saving skillset applicable to a broad spectrum of real-world scenarios. The book's structure supports a comprehensive understanding of these concepts.

    Essays from the Edge gathers fifty years of selected writing by Dennis Gray, one of British climbing's most influential voices. These twenty-one essays, spanning one of British mountaineering's most exciting periods, provide a compelling narrative of a life studying the art of climbing and of living it first-hand on the cliffs and mountains of the world in the company of some of the sport's most colourful characters of the last century.
    Vivid portraits anchor the collection: the legendary Joe Brown and Don Whillans, members of the Rock and Ice Club; American pioneers Royal Robbins, Jeff Lowe and Warren Harding; and unsung originals such as the Barley brothers, Robin and Tony. A wide-ranging 1973 interview with climber Allan Austin gives a fascinating insight into the Yorkshire scene of the early 1970s. Dennis's commentary expands to cover other issues, such as the 1932 Kinder Mass Trespass, climbing's debut in the Olympics and the development of modern rock climbing in Belgium.
    Broad in scope yet precise in observation, Essays from the Edge celebrates the values and spirit of British climbing.

    This audiobook edition of A Mile at a Time includes additional insights after each chapter from author, Travis Macy, and a bonus track featuring poetry written and read by Travis Macy. 
    
    In October 2018, Mark “Mace” Macy, sixty-four years old, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. He had spent thirty years competing in Colorado and around the world in ultra-endurance competitions and is one of the few people who have finished all eight Eco-Challenge events. Once diagnosed, he feared losing endurance, strength, and independence. 
    Mace's son Travis, also a professional endurance athlete, also struggled to see his father battling the disease. In 2019 they decided to participate in World's Toughest Race—a seven-day, grueling 400-mile marathon of trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle—for one final race together.
    
    Weaving excerpts from Mace's passionate personal journals alongside a first-person narrative by Travis, A Mile at a Time tells the story of this incredible journey and what both father and son learned along the way.
    
    A powerful story about living—and thriving—with a disease that impacts nearly six million Americans, this timely and deeply moving father-son adventure sheds light on the hard truths of this disease while giving listeners hope of all that still can be achieved.
