Title: Classic Historical textbook
Product review: This old book is a classic insight into climbing technique from the golden era of yosemite rockclimbing. The techniques and equipment are, of course, often outdated, but this book is still a classic. If what you're looking for is a modern text on rock climbing this is not it, and anyone who would assume that a 25 year old textbook on ANY sport would be up to date with the latest 21st century methods probably should have worn their helmet that day they took that big bouncing 70 foot whipper. But if what you want is insight into an age when hexes and stoppers were a newfangled concept, pins and a hammer were still a regular part of a freeclimbers rack, and haulbags were made out of canvas, then grab this one, take a good read, and be transported to 1970s and early 80s rockclimbing.
