This handbook is exceptionally readable. It contains a comprehensive dictionary of terms, tools, and techniques. The format is easy to follow. The graphics for tying knots and using the various climbing aids are clear and understandable. The photographs are excellent.

great for beginners who have no idea on climbing.,
By evan (N.Y. /U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Climber's Handbook (Paperback)
I think this book will help out the beginner in climbing from indoor to ice climbing. This book covers indoor, sport, traditional, mountin, and ice climbing or glacer climbing. It also covers the equipment needed for every type of climbing,as well as knoting rope,hand grips and foot grips.this book explains on how to place the equipment in cracks and in the ice.also there is a section on first aid and reading maps. The drawings are good for illustration on techneiques. the photos are all in color. this book has help me understand what to expect in rock climbing and i have never done rock climbing. the only thing is that the glossery wasnt big and it did help but not much only because information was all in the book. so if you have no idea on what is rock climbing i defitnitly suggest you get this book.
