A Rock Solid Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is a wonderful guide by an outstanding, dedicated climber. My husband and I had the privilege of climbing with Alli once. It has been our only climbing experience but she provided the expertise and encouragement to allow us to enjoy it. My husband and I are also Alli's dad and mom - so this review may reflect that bias! So far, I have bought at least 8 copies of her book!
