\nImagine an alien came down to Earth, stuck a probe into a climber’s brain –
\none who’d been climbing for over thirty years – and then transmogrified the
\ncontents into a big book of climbing tips. Well, 1001 Climbing Tips by Andy
\nKirkpatrick is just such a book. This is no regular instruction manual – it’s
\nmuch more useful than that. This is a massive collection of all those little
\ntips that make a real difference when at the crag, in the mountains, or when
\nyou’re planning your next big trip. It’s for anyone who hangs off stuff, or
\njust hangs around in the mountains. These tips are based on three decades of
\nclimbing obsession, as well as nineteen ascents of El Cap, numerous Alpine
\nnorth faces, trips to the polar ice caps, and many other scary climbs and
\nexpeditions. 1001 Climbing Tips covers the following areas:<\/p>\n
BASICS [1-240]\nFrom how best to rope up and the importance of climbing partnerships, to
\nracking your gear correctly and how to sleep in a harness. This section is
\ndesigned for both novice and experienced climbers.<\/p>\n
SAFETY [241-327]\nThe name of the game in climbing is staying alive and coming home in one
\npiece. This section covers loose rock, rescue, dealing with heat and what to
\ndo if you get caught out.<\/p>\n

\npegging, jumaring, hauling and speed climbing. These tips will be an aid both

\nafter your gear, mental strength and – of course – not falling off.<\/p>\n
