This is the rock climbing instructional book. Until now, instructional books for climbers have taken a largely `negative` approach, concentrating on how to reduce the inherent risks of the sport, & mentioning only in passing the equally important skills required to get to the top. This book represents a watershed in the genre, coming from a coaching perspective. ” Sport Climbing+” is packed with inspirational photos, humorous illustrations, & two lifetime`s worth of learning how to succeed at the toughest of all sports. The book takes a practical approach, focussing on the improvements that climbers can make immediately, without embarking on lengthy training programs. Written in a highly accessible, jargon-free style, this book is as beneficial to the novice indoor climber wanting to get on rock as it is to the experienced climber wanting to move onto the next level. ...
