Product Description

Product Description
This is a book and DVD. A dynamic package of training material from a pair of expert coaches, "The Self-Coached Climber" offers comprehensive instruction, from the basics of gripping holds to specific guidelines for developing a customised improvement plan. Hague and Hunter base their methods on the four fundamental components of all human movement - balance, force, time, and space - and explain how to apply these principles to achieve efficient results. The DVD presents live demonstrations of training exercises and features an original documentary of a 5.14a/b redpoint attempt by Adam Stack and Chris Lindner.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are not already good..., 8 Sep 2007
...this book can take you there. I have read several books on training for climbing but they are all aiming at the professionals or very, very accomplished climbers. This book is for people like me. Those who are not yet good, live anormal life with a family and a job and try to fit training into a busy schedule. This book really helps. It shows some excercises that worked wonders for my technique. It gives realistic training tips. Especially the tips about performance pyramids has taken me up several grades in performance. If you love climbing but is not professional, get it.

I would strongly recommend this book. Even my very advanced climbing friends call this book: 'pure science of climbing'.
