The best all-around climbing reference book I've found
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
As a beginning climber, I wanted to find a book that would cover all the basics under one cover. I went to several book stores and made lots of comparisons before purchasing "The Complete Rock Climber". This is a definite must-have book for beginners, and even more experienced climbers will benefit from the comprehensive coverage of the sport. Full color pictures and diagrams illustrate a lot of the great information you'll find here, including equipment, knots, ropes, holds and training. The book even covers such topics as navigation, mountain weather and first aid. If you're looking for a great all-around climbing reference, this is the book for you.
