Punk in the Gym is the unflinchingly honest autobiography of Andy Pollitt - rock‑climbing icon of the 1980s and 1990s, revered for his daring gritstone routes and flamboyant style.

Pollitt charts his rise from the crags of North Wales to the world‑first ascent of Punks in the Gym at Mount Arapiles (the first-ever 8b+ route), before abruptly retiring from climbing on the day of the ascent. With raw storytelling, he lays bare his struggles with self‑doubt, depression, addiction, and injuries, alongside the heady successes and flamboyant persona that made him a climbing rock star.

Candid, emotional, and deeply personal, this book is a powerful reflection on ambition, identity, and the cost of greatness
