Thoughts from the outdoors

Andy Kirkpatrick On The Troll Wall - Video

Video and stills from Andy Kirkpatrick's recent solo climb on Norway's Wall - serious, poignant, stunning.

Andy Kirkpatrick's just back from an attempted solo of Norway's Troll Wall and has popped this gripping montage of photos and video up on Vimeo.

It's a slightly poignant mix. Andy's excellent new book, Cold Wars - see our review - finishes on the same route. We won't spoil you read by going into details, but it means the route has a resonance for him. Anyway, well worth a watch. 

You can also read Andy's blog from the wall at www.andy-kirkpatrick.com.

That's a brilliant video.

Andy's final blog from the wall called 'Little Voices' was incredibly powerful and put this big game in perspective. That's worth a read.

Aye - wouldn't have wanted to be in his shows at the end. The blog is well worth a read.
