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 It has superseded the countless tomes about climbing gathering dust on my bookshelf as my first reference.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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for both beginners and experienced, 18 Mar 2008

By	Dr. Matthew Wood "Spizza" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't write reviews often but felt compelled to do so with this. It's an excellent book, well written and with beautifully designed diagrams which demonstrate the concepts extremely well. I'm an experienced climber with 20 years under my belt and this has still taught me some new things and reinforced others ("Am I supposed to do it this way just because I always have? Oh yes!"). It doesn't patronise, nor does it take the elitist approach. Just sensible and very readable. I've been reading it cover to cover and enjoyed doing so.

Whether you are new to the sport, training as an instructor, or just looking to bolster your knowledge, this is probably the best climbing book available.
