Review: My daughter, who rarely reads anything(!), loves this book. I gave it to her at Christmas and it's still on her bedside table for browsing. She loves climbing and there are a lot of really useful - illustrated - information, tips and techniques. Would definitely recommend.

Review: Tremendous respect for the authors. They’ve clearly put in loads of hard work, not to mention the years of experience that must go into being able to compile something like this. I am not regretting buying the book, especially given the reasonable price tag for 352 pages of material with loads of interesting photos and stories. Considering a copy of most climbing magazines cost $8-15 alone, I’d say this is a great bargain. Thanks to Marten and Stian for putting this out there! Trying to sound as humble as possible, I’m an advanced climber and found certain aspects of the book very interesting like the focus analogy, and will certainly put what I’ve read to good use. On the whole, the book seems to take a bit of a wider, or general, focus if I can use the authors own technique. It’s certainly comprehensive. I found it lacking in sufficient detail at times to be a truly effective training guide. If you’re a climbing junky, I’d say it’s worth it. Just don’t expect this book to change your life. Pound for pound, I think Dave Macleods book packs the most punch.
