Another good book in the Learn to Rock Climb Series
All the books in this series are worthy to own. A decent way to learn technique without taking a class.

A good but limited instructional book
Sport & Face Climbing is a valuable instructional resource, like the other books in the series. As usual with Long's books, it is a clear and engaging read.

This review is from: Face Climbing (Paperback)
Sport & Face Climbing is a valuable instructional resource, like the other books in the series. As usual with Long's books, it is a clear and engaging read. It primarily focuses on movement on rock, footwork and different holds, subjects which are difficult to describe in text, and within limitations does well. Very little ropework, belaying or anchoring is covered. The lack of information on belaying for sport climbing is a little troubling, but it would be out of date in any case since this edition precedes the Gri-Gri. The sections on competitions and indoor climbing seem outdated, and readers will find some of the definitions -- i.e. "soloing" -- confusing. I haven't read Sport Climbing, part of the same series, but it may represent an updated presentation of similar information.
