5.0 out of 5 stars
Rock & Ice Gear: Equipment for the Vertical World,
By Paula C Quenemoen (Telluride, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rock & Ice Gear: Equipment for the Vertical World (Paperback)
Excellent content and very well written. An everything you ever wanted to know and a whole lot more, but perhaps didn't even know to ask--book for climbers of all abilities. The information in this book goes way beyond basic information, it gives fascinating details that will guide your life and death gear decisions. I am not reading this book, I'm studying it! Buy this book if you are a climber or love someone who does.

By "climb@mac.com" (Salt Lake City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rock & Ice Gear: Equipment for the Vertical World (Paperback)
This book is an incredible resource for climbing gear. It's well laid out, easy to read, and full of useful information. If you're serious about your gear then you should own this book. It's the most read book in my "climbing" library.

every climber needs this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock & Ice Gear: Equipment for the Vertical World (Paperback)
This book explains the use and selection of all kinds of climbing and general outdoor gear. If you read this you can become better educatedd on what gear you really need and how to use it properly (safely).Includes one particular gem: Do NOT get eye surgery if you plan on real mountaineering. You can have severe vision problems at altitude. This led to Beck Wethers terrible Everest injuries.
