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 focussed 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 thirty years.
Yet Jerry Moffatt is more than a dedicated athlete. Travelling the world
to fulfil his dreams, Revelations 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.
