Nick Bullock is a climber who lives in a small green van, flitting between Llanberis, Wales, & Chamonix in the French Alps. Tides, Nick`s second book, is the much-anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut Echoes. Now retired from the strain of work as a prison officer, Nick is free to climb. A lot. Tides is a treasury of his antics & adventures with some of the world`s leading climbers, including Steve House, Kenton Cool, Nico Favresse, Andy Houseman & James Mc Haffie. Follow Nick & his partners as they push the limits on some of the world`s most serious routes: The Bells! The Bells! & The Hollow Man on Gogarth`s North Stack Wall; the Slovak Direct on Denali; Guerdon Grooves on Buachaille Etive Mor; & the north faces of Chang Himal & Mount Alberta, among countless others. Nick`s life can be equated to the rhythm of the sea. At high tide, he climbs, he loves it, he is good at it; he laughs & jokes, scares himself, falls, gets back up & climbs some more. Then the tide goes out & he finds himself alone, exposed, all questions & no answers. Self-doubt, grieving for friends or family, fearful, sometimes opinionated, occasionally angry
- his writing more honest & exposed than in any account of a climb. Only when the tide turns is he able to forget once more. Tides is a gripping memoir that captures the very essence of what it means to dedicate one`s life to climbing.
