A must for anyone interested in indoor rock gym climbing.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Rock Climb: Gym Climb (How To Climb Series) (Paperback)
There are only two books that focus on this exciting new activity, this one and "Mock Rock: Guide to Indoor Climbing." I have them both and have read them both. There is no comparison, considering both cost and content. John's book is half the price and covers this very enjoyable form of climbing in a thorough easily read manner. "Mock Rock" spends the last half on interviews with people who climb in gyms. It is mostly fluff. If I ran an indoor climbing gym, I'd stock Long's $6 book. It's all you need to learn about this great new sport

This review is from: How to Rock Climb: Gym Climb (How To Climb Series) (Paperback)
As a beginner climber, I was hoping for more detailed breakdowns and more diagrams related to the technique of climbing. At times, moves such as locking-off are introduced and never explained. The section on equipment and hand grips is adequate. Many of the photos are small and lacking detail. Overall for the price the book, you are getting what you pay for. I'm hoping Comp Guide to Rock Climbing, which I have on order is more rewarding.

This review is from: How to Rock Climb: Gym Climb (How To Climb Series) (Paperback)
Lots of information, but it looks like they're all crammed in there. They could have made the text and the images larger.
