Book Review: Review
Summary: 2 Stars

To be fair, given the books price, and the fact that on it's initial publication the volume of information currently available on the internet to support climbing wall construction was likely minimal, it would once have been a good introduction to the subject, but most the information is now freely available via the popular climbing sites and also those of the climbing hold manufacturers, and in more detail.

Whilst it might still serve as a good overview for those involved with the construction of commercial climbing wall facilities, it really does not contain any useful information for those wishing to construct home training/bouldering walls as it lacks specific details, refering you instead to consult with your construction engineer at all those points when are looking to the book for guidance ! Whilst this advice is entirely correct for a commercial venture is likely to be of little use to the individual climber constructing in his gararge/basement, to which I would advise using the internet.
