CLIMB! A GUIDE TO HIGH ADVENTURE is suitable for complete novices, as well as those who have already started climbing, seeking improvement in their technique and general know how. It focuses on indoor bouldering because this is the easiest and most accessible route into climbing: you don?t need any technical equipment beyond climbing shoes and can pretty much get started with minimal instruction.<\/p>\n
It includes an introduction to basic rope climbing (‚top rope‘), venturing outdoors – including climbing above deep water (psicobloc) on ‚real rock‘ – as well as making the first steps into the competition arena. Crucially, it provides insight and genuine practical guidance using simple everyday analogies and humour.<\/p>\n
