Book Reviews of Rock Climbing: Mastering Basic Skills (Mountaineers Outdoor Expert)

Book Review: Best 1st rock climbing book
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is really great for clearing up any confusion for a new and intermediate climber. It provides clear guidance from climbing techniques to gear selection and use. It covers all types of protection and gives clear pictures. The book shows everything from just top roping to efficient multipitch trad climbing. The end has self rescue which is very important. It seems confusing, but it is a confusing concept. It cleared up most confusion that I had and was easy to read. It is a good resource. Obviously it is more for outdoor climbing, look at the cover and the guy has cams in his hand. I strongly recommend this book for someone who wants to climb outdoors. This wont replace an experienced friend, but I didnt have any climbing buddies so I used this to get started.
