Rock Climbing Anchors

This seminal book has been fully updated by the author of the acclaimed Advanced Rock Climbing. Featuring easy-to-follow, step-by-step instruction, it is an essential guide to building safe and effective climbing anchors.

  Pros and cons comparison lists

• Graphic illustrations showing forces, movement, and “right” versus “wrong” techniques
  
• A new section covering anchor considerations for indoor climbing gyms
