How to Big Wall Climb

How to Big Wall Climb is the first step-by-step aid climbing guide that takes
you from your first step in an aider to the summit of El Capitan. Like
anything worthwhile, big wall climbing requires hard work. That said, it`s not
that difficult to get to the top of Yosemite`s El Capitan, the top prize of
the world`s rock climbers. To scale El Cap you only have to free climb 5.9 and
know very basic aid climbing skills. The daunting challenge is to put those
skills together efficiently, a trick most climbers never master. That is where
this book comes in.

It`s the first How To big wall book specifically organized and clearly
designed to address the process of building big wall skills, step by step.
Author Chris McNamara has climbed El Cap more than 70 times and has set
several speed records there. He has climbed more than 100 big walls, is a
noted wingsuit BASE jumper and is the founder/CEO of SuperTopo, publisher of
highly-regarded climbing guides for areas ranging from Alaska to Red Rocks
with special attention to Yosemite. If you are a reasonably good climber
psyched to do El Cap or a similar bad ass big wall, you probably can do it.
