Climbing: From First-Timer to Gym Climber
"This book is not just for a few highly skilled climbers who have elevated the sport to a high artThis is for those of use who want to get down without bivying, beat a thunderstorm, or get in a raft of pitches in the few pathetic hours we have available. It is a trove of practical information--detailed yet accessible, sprightly and humorous.
