SPORT CLIMBING

From Toprope to Redpoint, Techniques for Climbing SuccessFrom Toprope to
Redpoint, Techniques for Climbing Success

Sport climbers often project a route that tests their physical limits in hopes
of an eventual completion, regardless of the number of attempts. Succeeding
requires a solid understanding of belaying and other climbing techniques that
are used in various climbing disciplines, but are detailed here specifically
for sport climbing.

Targeting varying abilities, Sport Climbing teaches climbers how to rehearse
moves and train for routes, how to get through the pump, how to fight until
the end of a pitch, how to stay composed when tired, and how to best use their
bodies to climb efficiently and expertly. Whether inspiring new climbers to
learn the nuances of scaling vertical terrain, or delving into a deeper, more
conceptual understanding of how to go about projecting a route, Andrew
Bisharat brings confidence and a level of practicality to the sport. He
demonstrates how skills specific to redpointing transfer over to traditional
climbing, making this a must-have book for any climber. Featuring tips from
famous climbers such as Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold, the author brings a
modern voice to a fun and exciting sport.
