Sherman Exposed: Slightly Censored Climbing Stories by Sherman, John. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780898868524.

* Both brilliant and funny, John Sherman has a loyal following * Features the best of Climbing magazines Verms World * Insightful and often irreverent profiles of some of North Americas best climbers Outrageous, talented, and a force to be reckoned with, John Sherman is always willing to spout an opinion thats sure to raise eyebrows. This rowdy collection of biting satire, parody profiles, barely restrained rants, and genuine reflections on climbings unsung heroes is no different. Blending his juiciest Verms World columns from Climbing magazine with previously unpublished (or, perhaps, unpublishable?) stories, Sherman pulls no punches, even on himself. From his college exploits in buildering on the Berkeley campus, to his quest for the Fab 50, to his years as a nomadic boulderer, Sherman shares the best, and the worst, he has found in the people and places he encountered along the way. Climbers will discover valuable excuse-making techniques in The Dog Ate My Belay Plate; they will aspire to the very un-PC All Vermin Team; and they will challenge themselves with The Verms World History Aptitude Test. Who could ask for more?
