Autor

Jacob D Nuttall grew up in South Wales, a rock climbing Mecca. Its varied and rugged landscape offers a giddying array of outdoor climbs. Unfortunately he didn't discover climbing for another 25 years and where he lives now is flat as a pancake. Nevertheless, he can often be found dragging himself up the walls of an indoor climbing centre, or further afield outdoors in the UK when it isn't raining (it's always raining). His first book, "Climb! A Guide to High Adventure" was written on an appallingly slow laptop, and illustrated using a digital application and an Apple pencil that his dog had chewed to a fine mulch. He has since invested in a speedier laptop and the pencil still seems to work. He writes in his spare time and has a considerable number of unfinished works littered around the household. He will seek to release these one by one in-between a never ending list of menial chores, outstanding DIY, and general life 'stuff'.
