GYM CLIMBING: Maximizing Your Indoor Experience

Burbach covers all aspects of indoor rock climbing in detail, including what
to look for in a gym, analysis of equipment and how it works, proper top-rope
systems management, and movement technique. More advanced indoor climbers will
appreciate chapters on topics such as indoor leading, performance, competition
climbing, and bouldering. For outdoor rock climbers now training in gyms, this
guide aids the ‹reverse› transition from climbing on real rock to pulling on
plastic. Throughout, Burbach not only demonstrates the proper techniques and
skills, but goes one step further to explain why those practices are better.
