James Kingston loves to look down. Whether he's climbing a tree at his local park or ascending to the very top of the Eiffel Tower on a cold winter's morning in Paris, looking down always brings about the best kind of rush. And yet it wasn't always this way. James used to keep his feet firmly on the ground and only climb when he knew he wasn't going to get further than a leap to safety. Afraid of heights from an early age, James knew there was only one way to tackle his fear and that was to face it. But not only did James confront an almost crippling phobia, he found that it came to change his life. In fact, he discovered that it came to change who he was completely from shy, scared and playing it safe to one of the most daring, adventurous and unique freeclimbers plying his trade online. Never Look Down will track James' climbing obsession across the world as he chases the sun looking for the next ultimate high. A highly visual, cerebral and all round unique book, Never Look Down will combine amazing photography, great writing and breathtaking scenery to become the ultimate companion to James' death-defying stunts.
