Throughout the book, Gadd's commitment to the craft, and his desire to give back to the wider community, is clear.

Author Bio
WILL GADD won every major ice competition in the world in '98 and '99 (ESPN X Games, Courchevel Invitational) as well as the 2000 Ice World Cup. He writes for the major climbing magazines and is frequently featured on panels at the Banff Mountain Book and Film Festival. He says he started climbing with his parents before he could walk. Thirty years later, he still spends at least 100 days a year tied into a rope. Over the last several years he has put up new ice and mixed climbs, taught climbing clinics and developed a mania for paragliding. For more on/by Will, see willgadd.com.

He has photographed in Africa, Europe, South America and the US, as well as Canada. He currently lives in Calgary, Alberta.
