I bought the book, read it, bought trad gear and my first climb outside was leading trad with the info I got from the book with no instruction. Thank God I did not kill myself. Please get instruction before lead trad climbing. The point being, It is a great book for the standarders of climbing.

If you only buy one book this is it. This is the only book in my opinion that covers everything from first aid to technique. Buy this book!

A comprehensive study on climbing. This book has it all: Basic outdoor skills, rope work, first aid, rock, snow, ice and alpine climbing. It explains all the different facets of mountaineering and has lots of figures and drawings to give examples. It’s very thorough about each topic and explains everything you need to know about climbing in general. This is as stated the bible of climbing.

everyone should have one on the bookshelf/coffee table/in there pack...anywhere....Mountaineering Bible? you bet...but it also covers everything from basic rock climbing techniques, grips, rigs, knots, climate, practically everything except the experience - if you dont have one, get it. excellent for everyone from novice to expeditioners! - rock on!!
