Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is one of the most popular pastimes in the world, and this book
is designed for anyone who wishes to take it up as a sport. Covering all the
basic technical skills needed, it is invaluable not only for beginners but
also for those who already climb but would like to increase their technical
knowledge on both single- and multi-pitch routes.

Written by one of the UK’s top mountain instructors, the book covers subjects
including equipment, knots, belaying, leading, seconding and abseiling. Many
other peripheral skills are also covered, and the whole book is highly
illustrated with full-colour photographs throughout. Special ‹Tips› and
‹Notes› boxes highlight important techniques and observations, and the book is
presented in such a way as to make learning to climb as easy and enjoyable as
possible.

Whether you are just starting out or are already experienced on rock, the
contents of this book will help you to enjoy climbing safely and with
confidence.
