Howdy all,
I'm currently writing my PhD in sociology at Newcastle University... on climbing. I'm looking for a bit of a history on the development of climbing at Araps. I would like to know about the development of climbs, central figures and the culture of the climbing, such as the taboo against bolting. I would also like to know a bit about the development of technology coming out of Araps, such as coming up with the idea for RP's. I know the guide books have brief history's, which is quite useful, but I'm wondering if there are any more extensive accounts.
Cheers,
Matt |
