From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jim Perrin is a British rock climber and travel writer. As a writer, he has made regular contributions to a number of newspapers and climbing magazines. As a climber, he has developed many new routes, and made solo and free ascents of great difficulty.
He won the Boardman Tasker prize twice, first for Menlove (1985), his biography of John Menlove Edwards, and again for The Villain (2005), a biography of Don Whillans.[1]
For many years he has contributed the mountaineering obituaries for The Guardian (see, for example, the recent contribution on Brede Arkless).[2]
