Customer Reviews

If you are not already good...
...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'.
