ARTICLE: The Heart of Nature - Climbing as a Paradigm of the Human Condition
Dave Pickford shares an essay from his new book Extreme Horizons.

ARTICLE: The Liminal Game - Deep Water Soloing Explorations on the Edge of Land
Deep water soloing pioneer Dave Pickford explores his attraction to this climbing discipline that brings him closest to the edge in the liminal space between land and sea. It's a blue summer's day, somewhere at the beginning of things. The beach carves out into the sun. Silence and light merge where the shingle meets the English Channel. An offshore breeze ruffles the wide water of Worbarrow Bay. I run into the sea and swim straight out, with the easy confidence of a nine-year-old boy.

ESSAY: A Flare in the Dark: An Exploration of the Value of Climbing
Dave Pickford explores the value of climbing through three lines of enquiry: the value of climbing to those who choose to climb, the value it has, if any, to the rest of humanity and the value it could bring to people in the future. Somewhere high above, hexagons of sunlight refract and merge. I glance upwards. A thin vein of white cloud streaks the sky above the Russian Tower. I breathe in deeply and exhale. The air is cold up here. What's happening?
