A handmade A5 publication journal with coptic stitch binding.
The book’s context is inspired by the documentary ‘Valley Uprising’. The handmade book covers the 50 years of climbing of the three distinct generational eras: the Golden Age (1953–1970), the Stonemasters (1973–1980), and the Stone Monkeys (1998–Present) in Yosemite National Park.
Front and back hardcover from a repurposed book, body text from my Silver Reed 280 De Luxe typewriter.

Materials: Recycled book cover, climbing rope, tape, paint, markers, tea bags and thread.
