Extremely interesting, practical and informative – I highly recommend it. The advice and exercises offered have been so helpful to my progress and has made me even more keen to progress in this sport. The final section, on climbing exercises for children and young people, will be invaluable for those wanting to give their child a taste of the climbing wall in a safe and fun way.
The exercises are interspersed with really interesting pieces on (for example) training for trad and alpine, or a page on how to become stronger or how to vary your training. Even if you have years of experience, I think you would still find techniques and tips in this book to help you and push you further. I really like the introductions from the authors, which builds into the different techniques to practise every time you’re on the climbing wall or heading outside.
Each exercise is accompanied by a beautiful image so you can clearly see what you’re meant to be doing, and the explanation guides you through the reasons why that particular technique is important to help you improve. All in all, this is a really beautifully-made book which will look good on your shelf/coffee table as well as always accompanying you in your bag when you’re off climbing. There is a great variety in terms of levels of difficulty.
Having recently started climbing, I have found this book to be indispensable.
