Jerry Moffatt Climbs Everything, Everywhere

Jerry Moffatt Climbs Everything, Everywhere

Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s!

In 1984, Jerry Moffatt was quite possibly the best climber in the world. A year later, he was out of climbing entirely, with severe elbow problems. During his couple of years off, climbing moved on without him - and it moved fast. Bolts became the norm, yo-yo ascents were all but gone, replaced by redpoint tactics, difficulty had skyrocketed from 13c to 14b, and the best climbers were all competing. To make it that much more daunting, Jerry couldn't even climb his old warmups.

But he wanted to be the best. So he got to work.
