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.

Vertebrate Publishing Ltd The Climbing Bible: Managing Injuries

Price: £25.00

Brand: Vertebrate Publishing Ltd

 

Description: The Climbing Bible: Managing Injuries is the indispensable guide to injury prevention and rehabilitation for climbers. The author, Stian Christophersen, is an internationally renowned climber who has competed and coached at international level; he is also a practising physiotherapist with over 15 years' experience, specialising in the treatment of climbing injuries. The third book in the bestselling Climbing Bible series, it describes the most common climbing injuries that the author frequently encounters in his clinical practice, and examines how they can be diagnosed and treated - and even prevented from occurring in the first place. It is designed to be scientifically strong, yet presented simply, so that it can make an important contribution to the knowledge base that healthcare professionals refer to when treating climbers, yet also be easily accessible to climbers who do not have a healthcare background. The book is split into three parts and features anatomical illustrations along with exercise and action photos. The first part gives an essential overview of factors which can influence injuries and rehab, such as sleep, training load, warming up, differences related to age and gender, and strength training. Part two focuses on the common injuries experienced by climbers - including pulley injuries, elbow tendinopathies and hamstring ruptures, as well as growth plate injuries in young climbers - and advice about how to rehab or prevent these common injuries. And the third part explores the fascinating subject of pain science - what the sensation of pain really means, and how we interpret and can influence our experience of pain.

  • Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Indoor Climbing Manual

    Price: £20.00

    Brand: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

     

    Description: Climbing indoors has undergone a revolution. Indoor walls are no longer seen as simply a means to help climbers develop skills and get a bit fitter for 'the real thing'. These days many climbers prefer them, opting for the security of bolt-protected, weatherproof climbs. And why not? Excellent climbing facilities have sprung up everywhere, from primary schools and universities to massive, purpose-built centres offering hundreds of climbs and dedicated training facilities. And some climbers are buying the holds from specialised companies and setting up walls at home. The Indoor Climbing Manual is an authoritative and comprehensive guide, steering the reader through the variety of styles, skills and techniques needed to master the climbing wall, and includes: - An introduction to the equipment required - Top rope climbing, lead climbing and bouldering techniques - Advanced techniques and training to improve your climbing - Guidelines on how to climb safely and prevent injury - Tips for the transition from indoor to outdoor climbing - An overview of competitive climbing.

    Brand: Vertebrate Publishing Ltd

     

    Description: Imagine an alien came down to Earth, stuck a probe into a climber's brain - one who'd been climbing for over thirty years - and then transmogrified the contents into a big book of climbing tips. Well, 1001 Climbing Tips by Andy Kirkpatrick is just such a book. This is no regular instruction manual - it's much more useful than that. This is a massive collection of all those little tips that make a real difference when at the crag, in the mountains, or when you're planning your next big trip. It's for anyone who hangs off stuff, or just hangs around in the mountains. These tips are based on three decades of climbing obsession, as well as nineteen ascents of El Cap, numerous Alpine north faces, trips to the polar ice caps, and many other scary climbs and expeditions. The following areas are covered: Basics, Safety, Big Wall, Ice, Mixed, Mountain, Training, and Stuff.

    Description: Challenge and train your hands, feet, body and brain with over 120 climbing games. This book is for anyone wanting to have fun climbing while developing crucial skills. The games described can be used in a wide range of activities from working on specific skills to fun warm-ups. As an aid to a climbing session or as the sole activity, climbing movements can be broken down and practised in a safe but challenging environment. The book takes an introductory look at which specific aspects of climbing and methods of coaching are important - together with some aspects of sports science, this give the text a dual purpose as a coaching manual and as an encyclopaedia of games. Many of these games are particularly suited to those that are new to climbing and wish to improve their skills. If you're new to climbing, you'll find games which introduce some essential skills (such as 'crimping' a hold). Equally, old hands may welcome new games as an aid to helping friends progress or as an addition to a weekly climbing session. As a qualified instructor or an informal coach teaching friends or a parent teaching their children, this book provides an invaluable tool for hours of practical training or even just entertainment for rainy afternoons! The easy to use format allows those coaching or even the client themselves to select their own games based on current needs and desires.
