Sport Climbing is Pete Hill’s practical Cicerone guide to this increasingly popular pastime, providing guidance for climbers who attempt the ascent of bolt-protected routes. The guide is designed for climbers starting out on their sports-climbing careers as well as for those experienced at clipping bolts on routes worldwide. It covers all the technical skills needed to climb bolted sports routes, from short single-pitch entry-grade routes, through to harder modern test-pieces to classic multi-pitch crag & mountain routes. Written by one of the UK’s top climbing instructors, subjects such as bolt types, belaying & lowering-off are all detailed, along with many peripheral skills such as bottom roping, belaying the leader, redpointing & abseiling. There are further sections on Bolts & bolting, equipment, basic skills, bottom roping. Colour photographs throughout the guide illustrate some of the important techniques & equipment described in addition to inspiring climbers to take to the crags.
