I am in my final year of my BA hons degree in fine art and my dissertation is about free climbing and the climbers relationship with the landscape, climbing as a fine art. Is the landscape you climb in important to you or is the grade of the climb the most important challenge ?

thankyou for helping me,

Mandy


Answer

Mandy,

Thanks for the question and simply put the landscape is extremely important. I would argue that most climbers climb for the experience not just to climb certain grades.

The setting and landscape are what climbing so great. We get to do what we love in some of the most beautiful places around the world.

Hope that helps,
