2.0 out of 5 stars NOT BAD, NOT BAD., 18 Jul 2001
By A Customer
I've had this book for sometime now and to be honest, it is not all that great. It does have a very good section on mind techniques which I have successfully used to complete some real dodgy moves. Apart from that however, it is not that impressive. It reads more as an A' level PE book (something I know all about!!) and it tells you how your muscles work, but as for improving your climbing, it doesn't do an awful lot. With perfect 20/20 hindsight, I would not have bought this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great help, 17 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I have been rock climbing for a while, and I had trouble training certain muscle groups. This book helped a great deal, and now my climbing has improved, and the muscles don't hurt half as much any more
