<p>Part history, part climbing guide, Pumping Concrete explores the history, culture, and legacy of the artificial climbing wall phenomenon, from their origin at Schurman Rock in Seattle in 1939 to the mythic Leeds University wall in England, the University of Washington Practice Rock, the Vertical Club, and beyond, with historic photographs and an anthology of essays written about the subject over the past century and more. "A fascinating and functional archive of information about the historic artificial climbing walls of the Seattle area. Carefully written and assembled by a renowned and practiced ‘rock rat’, Pumping Concrete is, befitting its subject, a collaborate labor of love." –Nicola Masciandaro</p>
