Tami Knight

Tami Knight's hilarious cartoons feature a whole cast of characters you will have met on the crags, such as the "Lunatic Ice Climber with Few or No Functioning Brain Cells", the "Pseudo-Euro Steroid Queen Sport Climbin' Championess", and the infamous "Disposable Avalanche Poodles" - in fact you may even be one yourself.

Unfortunately, all of Tami's books are out of print and likely to remain so but fine examples of her work are scattered throughout the Needle Sports website by kind permission of Ms Knight herself.
