As a youngster I was addicted to hills/mountains/rock climbing. I've only got 1 photo of me climbing from those days, we rarely took a camera. It was so hard getting to a crag that you climbed in rubbish condtions to avoid wasting a weekend. The shot is of me on P1 of Praying Mantis in Borrowdale on a damp grimy day, 1967ish, doing it wrongly of course. The mantra at the time was "the leader never falls" and you can see why! It's (usually) a bit safer these days. #Climbing #LakeDistrict

We are so excited to have longtime AAC member Rick Accomazzo on the podcast to chat about his new book “Tobin, the Stonemasters, and Me, 1970-1980.” This book is part memoir of Rick’s own early climbing career, part revealing biography of Tobin Sorenson, the forgotten Stonemaster who was an incredible all-arounder; and part a distillation of a decade of climbing culture. With these three threads, the book weaves together many untold climbing stories from an iconic, pivotal decade, from “before climbing lost its innocence,” as John Long says in his forward to the book. Listen to the episode to hear some key stories from the book and learn about the ten-year process of putting it together. We’d also like to congratulate Rick for his book being longlisted for the Banff Mountain Literature Award! Dive into the episode to get your dose of forgotten climbing history.
