Review: Great Book - Highly recommended - It’s very rare I review products, however this book deserves my efforts. Whether you are starting out or are already a climber it’s a great book. Not only is every technique explained well, they are accompanied by QR codes (see photo) enabling you to actually see how the movement should be done. Review: Great book, great coach. - Having used John as a coach at the Kendal wall, this book is a great reminder of the things that I need to continue to practice. When I first met John I said I wanted to lead 5c (UK) outside but I didn't have the strength. He said improving strength would increase my chances of injury and given my quality of foot work that I should focus my effort on that. A year later I am able to climb 5c with the same amount of time spent training. There is a lot of good drills in the book which are simple to practice. I have read a lot of books on climbing but this focusses on the going for yourself which is a better way of learning for me. ## Features - Pages Count - 140.

Reviewed by an injured climber. *by M***B on 10 August 2019* Virtually all climbers get injured at some point, regardless of whether they climb outdoors or indoors, and many climb with chronic injuries. It's unlikely that technique could prevent a freak accident but it can definitely reduce risks that are within one's control and enable one to climb smarter and safer. This book provides a rather useful summary of basic but important climbing techniques, and emphasises the importance of good technique. It would have been improved with more (and relevant) climbing graphics/photographs, since sports/movement are tangible concepts represented more clearly by visuals. It also gives a good sense of the author's solid competence as a sensible coach and is a helpful reminder for injured climbers to climb smarter and safer.
