5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed, well illustrated and clear., 11 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This book stands out in terms of clarity, illustration and structure. It has superseded the countless tomes about climbing gathering dust on my bookshelf as my first reference.
Detailed, well researched and clearly the result of years of experience. The illustrations go way beyond the usual poor line drawings of tangled ropes found in most climbing publications and the text is succinct, intelligble and encouraging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration in an instructional book., 24 Nov 2004
By Matt Rees (Cardiff, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Libby Peters has produced an excellent book to cover everything from the basics to advanced techniques. The illustrations are clear and linked to the appropriate text, the photographs are good quality and cover a variety of areas throughout the UK. A minor gripe is that the book seems poorly indexed, however despite this niggle I'm happy to recommend the book unreservedly to my clients. The book makes me want to go and climb which surely is the best endorsement.

(REAL NAME)   
This book is a must have for anyone wanting to start out in climbing or improve their skills. The book also runs alongside the BMC's Single Pitch Award and is an invaluable source of information and instruction.
