Material was complete and well presented
1 May 2002
Format:Paperback
I found the material to be broad in scope, well covered, and nicely presented. I still refer to this text from time to time as a refresher reference even after climbing for two years.
Adventuresports Institute Text
7 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
I utilize this book as the text for the entire 21 day climbing curriculum at the Adventuresports Institute of Garrett College. Straightforward and very informative.

A complete learning tool
1 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
The book contains good material for learning and is a good reference to go back to again and again. I like that it covers rock as well as snow and ice climbing in one package. Good photos and clear drawings illustrate points.
