Instead read for instance the aid climbing chapter in "Mountaineering the Freedom of the Hills" or "Big Walls (How to Rock Climb Series)," by John Long and John Middendorf, round that up with perhaps the best one in the field "Climbing Big Walls," by Mike Strassman and you will be much better off.

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth 1 dollar, April 18, 1998
This review is from: Aid Climbing with Mike Corbett (Climbing Specialists) (Paperback)
This book never touches on aid climbing it says half of what John Long says in his "How to rock climb" series, but not nearly as well.
