Can anyone recommend a good book or books on multipitch methods and techniques? I just ordered Luebben's Anchors book, but I'd like to find something that goes beyond just anchors, and (ideally) provides a rather comprehensive overview of moving into multipitch climbs. I just moved to Southern California and would like to be able to start doing some of the multipitchers at J-Tree. Most of the climbing where I lived before could be tackled with a single 70m rope.
Note that this question assumes reasonable proficiency and experience in single pitch methods and techniques.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
(And yes, I realize it's great to be able to take a course or hire a guide to learn how to multipitch, but that's a bit out of budget right now, sadly :)
