5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read book with great information!, December 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock Sport: Tools, Training, and Techniques for Climbers (Paperback)
This book will give you the basics of what you need to know to begin rock climbing, or to help you move on from top roping to lead climbing. But, unlike the other "how to" books out there on rock climbing, it is written in a breezy, entertaining style that will hold your interest like a good novel. You won't feel like you're reading a "how to" book at all. It even makes you laugh! I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful reading, makes me want to get out on the rock., July 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock Sport: Tools, Training, and Techniques for Climbers (Paperback)
I normally find "how to" books dull. Not this time. I feel like I've been climbing with someone form the old school. It's not often you can gain true experience from reading a book.
