The Handbook of Climbing: Fully Revised Edition Hardcover - 1997

by Allen Fyffe; Iain Peter; Iain Peter (Joint Author)


From the publisher

This is a climbing handbook, encompassing the history of the sport, the equipment needed, acquisition of skills, rescue, winter and alpine climbing and hillwalking. It describes the principles and methods of movement on rock, snow and ice, and the correct use of equipment and forms of protection. In many cases a variety of relevant techniques are detailed to allow the reader to select the system appropiate to his individual needs. All the techniques of modern climbing are covered, from those required on road-side crags to those needed on the more ambitious ascents of major mountains and faces. The text is accompanied by photographs and drawings.

First line

The amount of personal equipment required for rock climbing is fairly limited, and at a basic level virtually any sensible clothing and footwear can be used.
