Trad Climbing+
by Adrian Berry & John Arran
Published December 2007
Following on the heels of the critically acclaimed
Sport
Climbing+,
Trad Climbing+ is the first climbing text book focusing
on modern traditional climbing from a British perspective.
"The best how to book on trad climbing to date. I only wish it was
around when I started climbing."
Dave Macleod's comments on the pre-publication version of the book.
The aim of
Trad Climbing+ is to offer a balance of safety-focussed ropework
and protection skills with equally useful tactical and psychological ideas that
drive the individual to succeed.
Trad Climbing+ is the first book of
its kind ever to include in-depth coverage of coaching-derived ideas that will
allow the reader to reach new levels of confidence and ability without embarking
on lengthy training programmes.
Trad Climbing+ contrasts with a number of recent publications in that it is
aimed at active climbers rather than solely at professional instructors. The
280+ pages of content appeals to both complete beginners and experienced climbers
wishing to make rapid progress to higher levels of difficulty.
With over 380 full colour photos and illustrations from a wide range of contributors,
Trad Climbing+ is more than a guide to how to improve your trad climbing
ability; it is a source of inspiration and motivation featuring photos of many
of the most sought-after rock routes in the UK.
Book Format: The book is in the standard A5, soft-cover format with
full-colour throughout. It features many action photos to illustrate the various
techniques, plus cartoons and informative text spread over 280+ pages.
