Compact and Informative 24 April 2006
Size Name:Knots for Climbers 2
This book is excellent. I was a bit wary when I ordered it thinking it would either be for climbing snobs or only of use to boy scouts. I am pleased to say however that while it is easy to read and understand, with good honest descriptions of what each knot is best used for the style encourages you to want to learn more.

I am pleased to say the book starts by making it clear that it is not a manual that once read means the reader will instantly become an accomplished climber and recognises that its contents are but one ingredient (all be it a vital one) in the receipe to successful and safe climbing.

Top marks for a compact, but easy to follow, informative book that really delivers.

Review 16 Dec 2003
Size Name:Building Your Own In
I was not impressed with the content of this book in that, whilst it contains some useful information, it does not actually support the activity of building your own climbing wall, based only on the information contained within it, which I believe is a reasonable assumption given the books title.

To be fair, given the books price, and the fact that on it's initial publication the volume of information currently available on the internet to support climbing wall construction was likely minimal, it would once have been a good introduction to the subject, but most the information is now freely available via the popular climbing sites and also those of the climbing hold manufacturers, and in more detail.

Whilst it might still serve as a good overview for those involved with the construction of commercial climbing wall facilities, it really does not contain any useful information for those wishing to construct home training/bouldering walls as it lacks specific details, refering you instead to consult with your construction engineer at all those points when are looking to the book for guidance ! Whilst this advice is entirely correct for a commercial venture is likely to be of little use to the individual climber constructing in his gararge/basement, to which I would advise using the internet.

Does the job 10 Feb 2009
Size Name:Knots for Climbers 2
Having read a number of knot books, I was pleased to discover that this was one of the good ones. A lot of books don't have sufficiently clear instructions and photos/diagrams for the reader to learn the knots, making them rather useless. This book however did have good concise instructions and diagrams of how to tie the various knots. The book also includes practical information on rope strengths, knot and rope uses, how to pack ropes, all of which is very useful for putting the knots into practice. A few more photos of the knots could have improved the presentation of this book but overall a well put together, useful book for those wanting to learn climbing knots.

Very good book!!!
This book is really good. It teaches a lot of concepts about climbing, especially about head games. It elucidates misconceptions about the importance of our mind when climbing. Read more
