Inside you'll find technical skills with tips and reminders on key climbing techniques, comprehensive rope work showing what knots to use in certain situations and how to tie them, and coverage of different climbing types including aid climbing, free climbing, big walling and ice climbing. Essential safety procedures ensure the wellbeing of yourself, your party and others on the rock face, while emergency guidance helps you know what to do in extreme situations. The book is colour-coded for easy reference and all information is presented in lists and tables, making it simple to understand in testing conditions.
