In Psychovertical, Andy Kirkpatrick narrates his ascent from a tough upbringing on a council estate in Hull to executing a 12‑day solo climb of the Reticent Wall on El Capitan the hardest big‑wall climb ever soloed by a Brit. 

Through gripping storytelling, dark humour, and visceral honesty, he reveals how dyslexia, low self‑confidence, and personal adversity led him to seek control atop sheer granite faces.

Winner of the prestigious Boardman‑Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature (2008), the book weaves together extreme endurance, psychological depth, and unfiltered mountaineering drama.
