9 Out of 10 Climbers Make the Same Mistakes

Pages : 0

Book Description
"9 out of 10 climbers are stuck. They are stuck on the same things. Some of the things that hold climbers back from improving their climbing standard are the same as they were twenty years ago: motivation, managing time, and not being able to analyse and correct their own basic technical or tactical errors. But they are also stuck for a new set of reasons. Twenty years ago, the problem was that no one knew how to train for climbing. Information was scarce and couldn't travel fast among the participants. Today, it's the opposite problem. Book after book lists techniques for climbing, exercises for climbing, tips for climbing. Navigating this barrage of information, filtering out the irrelevant and homing in on what matters to your life, your climbing and your circumstances has been the limiting step for today's climber."--Page 4 of cover.

And then there is the moment of triumph, when there's nothing above you but sky and nothing below but a goal achieved.

The ABCs of Rock Climbing

Languages : en
Pages : 32

Book Description
This book contains a climbing-related word or phrase plus a colorful illustration for every letter of the alphabet. We hope the content sparks curiosity in the young crushers of the world and enables conversations between generations of climbers. Rock climbing is dangerous. This book contains stylized representations of gear and situations that sometimes occur in the sport of rock climbing. These representations should not, in any way, be interpreted as instructions for use or guides for handling situations encountered. The book you're looking at is the illustrator's first attempt at ever illustrating anything. He's not an expert on children's books, climbing, or even the alphabet; you should always seek professional advice on each of these before making decisions, especially before attempting to mitigate the inherent risks of rock climbing.
