The most unusual subject for climbing photography today is the indoor recreational climber. Not all climbers have the possibility or ability to climb in epic landscapes or the hardest problems in the world, which tends to be the motive for climbing photography.

That does not mean recreational climbers have any less will or motivation to send the problem in front of them. All climbers are struggling at the peak of their own mental and physical abilities. This is rarely captured. All climbers are different but once on the wall, we are all the same. We share the same urge, the need to send.

Over 10 months, 154 climbers were photographed. The photographs in this book were not staged and no instructions were given to the climbers. What is presented is the daily fascinating struggle of the recreational indoor climber.
