Midwest Book Review

Defying Gravity: High Adventure On Yosemite's Walls is the most complete and up-to-date chronicle of climbing in Yosemite available. The history of the development of rock climbing in Yosemite is covered, from the arrival of the first white settlers to the present. Climbing legends John Muir, Royal Robbins, Warren Harding, John Bacher, Lynn Hill, and otherwise recount their amazing triumphs and adventures on Yosemite's walls. Defying Gravity is fully illustrated with 88 color and b/w photos, including breathtaking action shots and historical photographs of the late, great, climbing icons. A complete description of climbing ratings and a glossary of climbing terms explain the difficulty of the various routes and the unique lingo used by climers.
