DAVE VASS - NOT SET IN STONE

The Passion and Consequence of Mountain Life.

‍

Between the 1980s and 2015 David Vass, a Wānaka resident for over 30 years, was one of New Zealand’s leading mountaineers.    

‍

In 2015, however, everything changed when a climbing trip in Fiordland resulted in a broken neck, and incomplete tetraplegia. Not Set in Stone eloquently describes the passion of his mountain life, but so too the consequences of when it goes wrong, and ranges in scope from epic 'ripping yarns' through to insightful reflection on the place of adventure in the modern world.

This brave, compelling book will be launched as part of the Festival of Colour.
