A graphic adventure narrative that delves into why we pursue the wild outdoors.

Shivering in a cave beneath Mount Fitz Roy in Patagonia, artist and rock climber Jeremy Collins had an intense and anxious vision, both geographic and artistic, about this life and what he was doing with it. As a result, he left Argentina and commenced on a four-year journey that took him in the four cardinal directions from his home in Kansas City--north, south, east, west--to create art in the wild, climb new routes, and live out his own map. Drawn: The Art of Ascent shares his exploits, his art, and what he discovered about balancing wilderness adventure with peace at home.

Jeremy chronicles ambitious first ascents in the United States, China, Venezuela, and Canada with climbing partners including James Q Martin, Mark Jenkins, Pat Goodman, Jeff Achey and Mikey Schaefer. At the same time, this contemplative dad shares his dreams and desires, and always finds a route back to his family.

Jeremy's art is a rich and textured mixed media of pencil, charcoal, watercolor, torn paper, and photographs. Drawn features pages from the sketchbooks he kept on these climbs with hand-written text.

The start of Chapter 1

I returned home to my domestic reality after a climbing trip to Patagonia. I took out the trash on Monday morning. I mowed the lawn, I checked the mail.

My wife, Tricia, tolerated my spontaneous couch-presented slideshows and stories about the recent journey, even though she had heard them all before. I watched cartoons with my zon, Zion, went for long trail runs, caught up on work, and climbed local limestone.

Then the phone rang, and with that came the start of my Jonny-approved vision . . .

 I spotted this book accidentally on Amazon and knew I had to get it. This book wasn't on my radar and appeared out of nowhere.

Drawn: The Art of Ascent is actually a travelogue journal of climbing expeditions by Jeremy Collins. Collected within are wonderful stories, beautiful hand drawn art and photo collages.

The book focuses on four main climbs in different continents. Collins is an adventurer at heart and one who really loves climbing mountains. I can sense his enthusiasm through the pages, words and the art. He also loves his family and he calls the situation he's in as living in a love paradox. He mentions that he misses his family at night while he's outside sleeping under the open sky. I found that to be touching.

When his friend died during an avalanche in China, he brought along his friend's ashes to scatter at the summits he scaled.

The storytelling is fantastic. He describes his adventures in detail with beautiful imagery, either drawn or in words, the people he meets, his climbing buddies and the mountains he climbs.

There's also tension in the book. You won't know until the next page whether he had made a slip or his gear came loose to send him tossing down the side of the mountain. It happened a few times and that really made for some tense reading. I finished the book in one sitting as I wasn't able to put down the book.

I can only imagine how awe-inspiring it is to be standing at the foot of mountains, and how amazing it is to be able to scale one.

Highly recommended

I'm not a mountaineer, but I was interested in this book as an artist and journal writer. It is simply a beautiful book to flick through! The author's style makes every page an experience. Once I got past the artistic enjoyment of handwritten and printed text with drawn and painted art work and photos all combined, the story he tells is engrossing. Highly recommended both as a mountaineers book, and artistic and journal content feast!

I ordered this book for a friend who is a rock climber. When it arrived, I couldn't stop looking at it myself because it is so well done and interesting. The drawings and stories are fabulous--it's in a journal format. It was a huge hit with my friend. I highly recommend this book.
