5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tips on training techniques for climbers., August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This is the only training book in my climbing library - probably because I don't need anything else. The amount of knowledge passed on by top climbers is large and complete: including in- depth topics on diet, muscle physiology, and mental techniques. This book can help beginners avoid common training pitfalls and intermediate + advanced climbers look for new ways to push past their current limits. Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on training to improve your climbing skills, September 5, 1997

By	E. Hicaro "Stonemaster" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is NOT a book on the basics of rock climbing. Instead, it reveals sensible and effective techniques and training methods...both physical and mental...for any level rock climber, beginner to elite! Well written and fully illustrated. Not many climbing books like this. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars The best rock climbing book I've read., February 21, 2000

By	Roberto G. Lopez Lebron (Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best and most complete book about rock climbing I have ever read. It focus not only on technique and training, but also on diets, treatments for injuries and also on strategy for accomplishing goals. It definitely is a must buy for any serious rock climber.
