Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. The beautiful color photos in this brief description of rock climbing will inspire any novice. All the basic equipment is described as well as safety concerns and tips for avoiding injuries. Climbing, mountaineering, and rappelling are defined and clarified. The mental challenges of climbing are discussed and contrasted with those of other sports. The climb up and the descent, competitive climbing, and how to find locations and fellow enthusiasts are all treated separately. The author stresses the importance of the climbing code, including common sense and respect for other climbers and the environment. The last chapter lists organizations, publications, and Internet resources for further research. This book in the First Books: Sports and Recreation series is a great introduction to a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages of adventure seekers. Susan DeRonne
