One of the great features of this book is that all rope works and systems are explained with fine colour photos of the actual things, no complicated diagrams and confusing drawings you find in so many other guide books. Another helpful thing is; each technique is explained in detail in the context of each climbing/rescuing situation, so you can learn, not only the rope techniques, but also how to use them in practice.
