4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, what more needs to be said,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Complete Guide to Rope Techniques (A Constable Guide) (Paperback)
This is basically the culmination of Nigel Shepherd's two previous books put together in a paperback.All I can say is that the way the book is set out is excellent, due to this layout you can easily follow what he is referring too. All too easily this type of instructional book can have you lost after the first few steps. Not only is it well thought out in terms of the layout, but it is written logically. I am a fairly experienced climber and thought I had a reasonable knowledge of rope techniques but I was pleased by the indepth information that Shepherd gives goes in to, answering some of those what if questions. The book itself covers all the very basic rope techiques needed for begineers such as belaying etc through to more advanced techniques which means this is book will stay with you forever as the ultimate reference manual and would throughly compliment other climbing manuals.

Excellant book, covering just about everything you need to know about climbing rope work and then some! Loads of easy to understand photographs and drawings. Covers anchor systems, top rope anchors, glacier travel, climber rescue, acending ropes and much much more.

RECOMMENDED,
This review is from: A Complete Guide to Rope Techniques (A Constable Guide) (Paperback)
An excellent book overall. Only criticisms are that the pages come apart very easily when trying to practice the roping techniques.Well presented and very informative.
