Review
Nicely illustrated. (Descent )
An indispensable addition to the shelves of any serious climber…Buy it, and you may find yourself belayed to the bedposts, hanging out the window, just because you can. (TGO: The Great Outdoors )
To find out more, in fact to find out nearly everything there is to know about rope techniques, I recommend Nigel Shepherd's latest edition of The Complete Guide to Rope Techniques. Not a very snappy title but a great little book that does exactly what it says on the cover. (Climb )
