5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for anyone interested in indoor rock gym climbing.
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.

It's all you need to learn about this great new sport

Skinny Book,

Lots of information, but it looks like they're all crammed in there. They could have made the text and the images larger.
