| Publisher Description: Judging from movies like Cliffhanger, rock climbing seems dangerous and, well, like a hard sport to do. The reality is that it doesn't take much to get out climbing--in the gym or on the rocks. Knack Rock Climbing gets people started by giving them fundamental knowledge about climbing, equipment, movement, and safety. Photographs that accompany the succinct text every step of the way illustrate the basics of rock climbing, allowing quick comprehension of complex skills. This book is the only full-color volume on all aspects of climbing that specifically targets the beginner and novice rock climber. |
