Customer Reviews
A great book full of sensible advice
Eric's book is well written and beautifully laid out. The details of training are based on scientific review of the literature and the first-hand experiences of the author. As a climber of 25 years I still found it a useful resource, and it has replaced the older (but still good) book "Perfmance Rock Climbing" by Dale Goddard and Udo Neumann. The photographs are inspirational. Congratulations Eric - this is a great book.
