There is something uniquely British about the rise of slate climbing, and Slatehead The Ascent of Britain’s Slate Climbing Scene documents the unique set of circumstances that led to a reclaiming of the abandoned slate mines of North Wales.

Driven by economic and political downturns in Thatcher’s Britain of the 1980s, and born of Victorian quarrymen, the 1990s provided a ripe backdrop for the punks, nutters, artists and petty thieves to scale the intimidating faces of abandoned slate mines. They developed a unique style of climbing that was both creative and bold, the perfect method to unlock the secrets of the slate.

Shortlisted for the 2020 Boardman Tasker Prize, and Winner of the New Welsh Writing Awards, this compelling read is perfect for any British climbing enthusiast.
