In September 2024, writer and ultrarunner Scott Williams lined up for his second attempt at one of the one of the world’s most gruelling and spectacular foot races, the Swiss Peaks 360.
After 20 years of trying and failing to achieve his ultimate ultramarathon goals, this race was different.
In the first comprehensive account of its kind, Scott takes you with him in this real-time exploration of what it takes to overcome the extreme physical, mental and emotional challenges inherent in a 380 km course across the Swiss Alps.
Swimming through rocks is both a how-to guide for the fast growing sport of ultra running and one man’s personal odyssey to explore the outer bounds of what a human being can achieve when supported with love and care.

Haunting. Raw. Painful. Scary. Troubling. Humbling. Beautiful.
Life? Drifting, drip, drip, drip, sing. We’re intimate, alone, together.
We exist within fraught times; as in we are living in times full of unpleasant things, problems and dangers. It can be argued that it has always been thus and ever will be, and there may be a kernel of truth to that belief. A kernel, though, is not the whole story. I do not commend myself as being in any way a holder of the fullness of that story, merely a part of it. And that part I offer to you to hold.
We are alone in this together. Now, time to read on.
In silence we tread the trail, in silence as we approach. Fraught.

"Some of my earliest memories are of convulsing.
On the floor, rigid, frothing, locked, stuck. Those early years of regular convulsions, perhaps only remembered through stories told to me rather than memories known, were a dizzying array of interventions to shift the patterns that had become me through a turbulent nine months within my mother. I was not terminated, and so the convulsions were my life."
Convulsing [] is a reworked collection of poems and an essay, confusing and chaotic, poetic and lyrical, substantive and transformative.
