About this listen
When Jerry Moffatt burst onto the scene as a brash 17-year-old, rock climbing had never seen anyone like him before. Fiercely ambitious, even as a boy Moffatt was focused on one thing: being the best in the world. This is the story of his meteoric rise to stardom and how he overcame injury to stay at the top for over two decades.
Top sport climber, brilliant competitor, and a pioneer in the new game of bouldering, Moffatt's story is that of climbing itself in the last 30 years. Yet Jerry Moffatt is more than a dedicated athlete. Travelling the world to fulfill his dreams, his story is a compelling and often hilarious account of the climbing community with all its glories, dangers, and foibles as well as the story of a true sporting legend.

Great lessons learnt and inspired!
Fantastic story to listen to and I am even more motivated now to "train like a dog" as Jerry likes to put it! Valuable lessons learnt not just physically but mentally to which is too often the hardest part! Thanks for the great lessons, I'll be referring back to this for everything.

The mindset of a great climber
Really fun story of one of the UK's best rock climbers. As a climber, and being familiar with a lot of the locations I really enjoyed it. Not sure how a non-climber would find it, due to lots of references to grades, etc. However it still gives great insight into someone with incredible dedication and tenacity to become the best in their field.
I thought the narrator did a great job. Just a shame there were several mispronunciations (e.g. arête).

Inspiration
Being a dyslexic climber of similar age. Also familiar with some of the climbs and carecters in early years I connected with the story very well. But I wound recommend this as a motivational book for anyone wanting to do well at anything. Thank for sharing your story.

Outstanding Climbing Sport Autobiography
Revelations, the autobiography of Jerry Moffatt is probably one of the most important climbing books of the modern era. Famously ghost written by Niall Grimes, who said of the project – Jerry’s stories only needed to be written down, rich with his storytelling and humour, the book is something very very special. Jerry Moffatt was for ten years arguably the best rock climber on the planet, throughout the 80s and early 90s he climbed the hardest routes in the best style around the world. His story is fascinating, one of talent, dedication, incredible focus, mishaps, adventures, ego and humility. Perhaps like no other sporting autobiography it really does go to the heart of what it means to be ‘the best’.
Sorry, but I can’t recommend this book enough.
In Jerry’s words after he gave up climbing.
‘When people ask me about getting back into it, I tried to explain what ‘it’ was to me. ‘It’ is working out on a campus board five days a week, twice a day, It’s doing weighted pull-ups, It’s starving myself seven days a week, watching everything I eat, and letting everything else take second place, It’s finding the hardest route in the world and going and doing it.’

inspiring
excellent from start to finish.
much more down to earth and relatable than some of the other... characters... in climbing history.
and yet another person who has benefitted from Lanny Basham. Will have to get his book next!

Top class
I really enjoyed this. Minor niggle though about the narrator obviously not being a climber and mispronouncing a few things but I'll let him off. It was great to get an in depth account of just how dedicated, obsessed and prolific Jerry was, inspiring stuff.
