With his finger on the pulse of the protagonists presented and in harmony with the vibrations of the Palatinate climbing universe, Alex Wenner takes us on a fascinating journey spanning 120 years - from the origins to the present day of climbing in the Pfalz.
A wild piece of climbing history with zero percent boredom: extracts from summit books, documentary images and conversations with contemporary witnesses are juxtaposed with cutting-edge photos and interviews with contemporary personalities.
This is how The Palatinate. The book is much more than a dry chronicle. Viewpoints, philosophies and life wisdom inspired by mountain sports, entertaining stories and close-up photos combine to create a very special work that goes beyond the confines of the climbing scene.
