Common Climber Writings:
- A Climber's Hands (By David Barnes) - A climber's hands are conductors which earth us as we climb. Our feet back them up. A climber’s hands are the touch-stone of our climbing lives. If you’re into tender and supple hands, don’t take up climbing.
- Snakes and Ladders (By David Barnes) - Australia – the land where walking out your front door means you may be bitten, stung, or even killed by any number of critters. Now try it on a climb...
- The Taste of Climbing: The Third Sense (By David Barnes) - A climber describes climbing from a unique perspective - taste.
