Product Description
Product Description
Through the sage advice of one of the world's foremost female climbers and the lens of an internationally acclaimed photographer, women learn that climbing is more fun than dangerous, that overcoming fear can boost self-esteem, and that the fitness benefits for women are tremendous. Most women learn climbing from men, but the sport is different for a woman, both physically and psychologically - and it is empowering for women to learn about climbing from 'girls' who've been on the rocks themselves. The numerous photos in this full-color guide do wonders to clearly explain the various techniques, equipment, and styles of climbing for women. Further bringing the sport to life, author Katie Brown presents her interviews with numerous female climbers - from a young girl to a sixty-something professional climber - to learn what the sport has done for them.

Format:Paperback
A lovely book which will appeal to women starting out in climbing or with an interest in doing so. Lots of glosssy pictures to inspire (although I find some a little dark).
Best for beginners who want to be introduced to the basics and who like reading about others womens experiences about geting into climbing.

Inspiring book
19 July 2009
Format:Paperback
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Katie Brown has a down-to-earth style that shows her good personality. Although she talks about her successes, she is honest about her fears and occasional difficulties with climbing. I had slacked off on climbing, but this book really inspired me to get back into the sport I love.

A pretty good book
6 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Would like it to have more info on specific climbing techniques for women and less extra stuff like interviews and how to fight your fear of heights. I expected it to be more training-specific.
