3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but there's a better book, September 27, 2000

"tigger38" (Hagerstown, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Knots for Climbers (How To Rock Climb Series) (Paperback)

Normally I recommend any book in the "How to Rock Climb" series but the drawings of the knots in this book are not so easy to see as in another knot book: "Knots and Ropes for Climbers."

1.0 out of 5 stars Knot a good manual, September 11, 2001

Randolph MacKenzie (Rochester, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Knots for Climbers (How To Rock Climb Series) (Paperback)

Skimpy, poorly illustrated, a genuinely cavalier and flip tone mark this book as a disappointment. Though it's OK for advanced climbers who desire a cursory review of the range of climbing knots, bends and hitches available, this book is absolutely worthless for beginners. Get Knots & Ropes for Climbers by Duane Raleigh, it's much clearer, better illustrated, more fun to read and learn from.
