Negative Positive
Title: Redundant and outdated.
Review: As a climber, every piece of gear has to have it's value and functionality proven.considering that philosophy, believe this book has little to offer in terms of it's value. Every climbing book you buy will have this same information and more, and probably more updated. Freedom of the Hills for example.Illustrations are nice, but entertaining at it's best value relative to other books. considering it truly offers less than dozen knots and hitches, with variations in all it's pages (been a while since I referred to this book.)Image on the cover is probably not that dangerous as suggested by another reader, but definitely outdated practice of rappeling.Advantage, in the initial days of your rope work learning, you could dog ear this book, as is less bulky to carry around your garage.
