Slatehead: Peter Goulding
We will send you a notification as soon as this product is available again.
Slatehead is a daring and evocative journey into the shadowy world of Snowdonia’s disused slate quarries and the climbing subculture they spawned.
Peter Goulding weaves together creative non-fiction, memoir, and documentary-style reporting to capture the lives of "Slateheads" - a motley crew of punk-influenced, often unemployed climbers in Thatcher-era Britain who turned abandoned quarry walls into their playground.
Through vivid storytelling, he threads together tales of iconic routes like Orangutan Overhang, Supermassive Black Hole, and Mental Lentils, the traditions of Victorian quarrymen, and his own personal encounters with friendship, loss, creativity, and the liberating edge of freedom.
