One of the original Camp 4 dirtbags who played by a strict code, Royal Robbins was a rock climbing pioneer in the golden days of the 1960s. Discover the man behind the fame, with a tale told to be both relatable and inspiring.

Through extensive access to family archives, personal letters, and interviews, author David Smart charts Robbins’s journey from a troubled youth in Southern California to a legendary figure whose ethical approach reshaped climbing culture. Featuring reflections on his iconic ascents, entrepreneurial path, family life, and rivalry with figures like Warren Harding and Yvon Chouinard, this award-winning biography offers both historical perspective and emotional insight into the man who redefined how and why we climb.
