When A Writer Climbs Walls presents different eras of graffiti that pushed physical and visual boundaries including the pichação movement in Brazil, trepes in Tijuana, artist Paradox & the Berlin Kidz in Europe, writers PK & KID in New Jersey, urban exploration groups such as the San Francisco Suicide Club and Billboard Liberation Front in California, and the anonymous collective Indecline in the United States.

Rainer ties the current rappel movement to writers such as ELMS & GUFE BTH who began their vertical pieces in the early 2010s in the US. When A Writer Climbs Walls sources material from recent documentaries, BlogSpot posts, YouTube videos and comments, and interviews with some of today’s most renowned rappel writers, including XSM and RAMS MSK.
