The climbing community needs this sort of thing like oxygen at the moment. Everyones so tired of short snippets online and much of this important historical information will be forgotten. Anthony has done a real service to British climbing with this wonderfully detailed, expansive and inspiring book. Neil GreshamFollowing the Olympics, climbing is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK. There are now some 5 million climbers in the UK and over 450 indoor climbing walls. Reflecting this growing interest in the sport, rock-climbing has become a growth area for publication in the last decade. Recently many famous climbers have published autobiographies or ghost-written biographies. There has been a notable increase in books published by lesser known, amateur climbers: e.g. Anna Fleming Time on Rock (Canongate, 2022).The Climb situates itself in this context. It is literary in tone and in some of its references, but it is a work written from inside the lifeworld of climbing. It communicates the feeling of rock-climbing and the sometimes wild and chaotic character of the world of rock-climbers with an unmatched immediacy through a story about the development of rock-climbing from the 1950s to the present. It weaves together a detailed history of the leading rock-climbers and the development of climbing as a practice, with personal reminiscence, connecting both to wider social changes. The Climb tells a unique story in a distinctive voice.

All forms find a voice in this book, as do hockey and hurling, baseball and bowling, tennis and golf. Primarily a narrative of British and Irish ball games, esteemed foreigners are welcomed: baggataway, knattleikur, soule, kolven, calcio. Many games come to life, revealing their motivations and their complex inner world. Still, soccer is firmly center stage. This is, after all, its picaresque journey. As the games sweep across history, the social, religious, and political contexts are threaded throughout, and this book is peppered with news snippets, anecdotes, comedy, and intrigue, which give the centuries life. Crammed with eccentric sports ephemera, untold tales, and unearthed acts, The Game That Would Be King is the most comprehensive work on the early history of ball games ever written.
