He's been at the forefront of the sport for most of that time, specialising in first ascents on rock faces most people cannot imagine scaling. In \u003ci\u003eUplifted\u003c\/i\u003e, Sonnie recounts the most memorable moments of his career, also describing the rich relationships that are the spine of the sport.

He writes as if he is sharing stories around the campfire at the end of a great day, evoking that feeling of being bone-tired but loving the camaraderie so much that you don't want to retire to your tent. He embodies a \"humble masculinity\" in what is perceived as a high-adrenaline, hard-charging sport, but reveals that climbing is very much about careful consideration, insightful reflection, and balancing challenge and risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSonnie speaks openly about how his attitude towards the risks climbing demands has shifted as he has aged and his life's circumstances have altered.

This is a crossroads that many—whether from commitment to a sport or through other circumstances of life—have faced and will relate to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846943559916,"sku":"9781952338182","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2849253482883.jpg?v=1758929069"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sonnie-trotter.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
