What is Hot Rock?

Hot Rock is a loosely affiliated and organised group of climbers circumnavigating the globe in a big red truck specifically converted for the job.  We, along with the majority of its passengers, were joining it for just a fraction of its three-year journey. To learn more about Hot Rock and to see how you can join it for a leg of its amazing journey go to Planetfear.
