Trad Climbing+ is the first climbing text book to focus on modern traditional
climbing from a British perspective. Now in its second edition, this book aims
to help both the beginner and seasoned climber with practical advice on all
aspects of trad climbing.
The aim of Trad Climbing+ is to offer a balance of safety-focussed ropework
and protection skills with equally useful tactical and psychological ideas
that drive the individual to succeed. Trad Climbing+ is the first book of its
kind ever to include in-depth coverage of coaching-derived ideas that will
allow the reader to reach new levels of confidence and ability without
embarking on lengthy training programmes.
Chapters on Mind and Tactics set this book above the rest.
Trad Climbing + is aimed at active climbers rather than solely at professional
instructors. The 280+ pages of content appeals to both complete beginners and
experienced climbers wishing to make rapid progress to higher levels of
difficulty.
With over 380 full colour photos and illustrations from a wide range of
contributors, Trad Climbing+ is more than a guide to how to improve your trad
climbing ability; it is a source of inspiration and motivation featuring
photos of many of the most sought-after rock routes in the UK.
