5.0 out of 5 stars For the vertical traveller, May 28, 2003
By 
J. Purson (Santa Fe, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: On Rope: North American Vertical Rope Techniques for Caving ... Rappellers (Hardcover)
A really outstanding book! It presumes a very basic level of knowledge and builds your confidence - from the history and making of climbing rope to all the hardware and knowledge needed to descend and ascend. All the techniques are listed and advantages/disadvantages noted for each. There is information for cavers and explorers as well as sportsmen and rescue pros. Some of the most interesting passages in the book describe real situations, poor planning, and what happened. If you want information good enough to go out and survive a dangle from a rope, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars On Rope, April 9, 2002
This review is from: On Rope: North American Vertical Rope Techniques for Caving ... Rappellers (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book. It shows knots in detail, it shows when and how to use them. We use the book all the time as a training manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the vertically inclined!, December 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: On Rope (Hardcover)
Padgett and Smith put it all together in one volume. Actually two volumes, as the second edition is now out and between the two there isn't much left to know. If you like hanging out 200 feet above the ground on 11mm static, this is the way to go!

A BASE JUMPER, hanging thirty feet off the ground from parachute shrouds-tangled in branches of what seemed the only tree on the beach-swayed back and forth as a green uniformed park ranger approached the challenge. Read the first page
