IN SEASON
I am proud to announce a project that has been in the works for the past few years. In Season is a photo book featuring 88 color and black & white photos of rock climbing in the Boone, NC area. This project is an exploration of movement, rock, landscape, and community. In a way, these images are what climbing in Boone feels like to me.
The next step in bringing this project to life is funding it. I am using Kickstarter as the avenue for people to purchase the book. By “donating” you will be essentially placing a pre-order. I’ve chosen this route to help eliminate the risks involved with offset printing.
The Kickstarter website will go live next week. You will be able to find the link here on instagram and on my website.
I’m super excited to finally put this project out in the world. Stay tuned.
Despite his stints dirtbagging in places like the Buttermilks and Hueco Tanks, Boone’s under appreciated crags have always pulled climbing photographer Drew Mercer back to North Carolina.
A modern champion of the Southeastern climbing scene, @drewerd_ sat down with us to discuss his latest coffee table book, In Season, a true love letter to the High Country climbing we know and love.
@listentogroundup Episode 20 on your favorite podcast platform to learn more about how Drew is using his lens to celebrate places like Ship Rock, Grandmother Boulders and the Dump, his epic on the Linville Crusher and his dirtbag days out West!
Oh and if you made it this far we want to know what you think… does North Carolina have world class climbing?
