"John Sherman, America's most noted and notorious bouldering guru shares the most recent trends in techniques, equipment, and injury treatment and prevention. Sherman imparts his insider knowledge of the sport through colorful instructional text and "combat" stories from his own bouldering career -- allowing both beginning and accomplished boulderers to learn from the author's mistakes rather than their own. Among the guest contributors for this new edition are top boulderers Paul Robinson, the 2008 ABS national champion, writing on gyms and competitions; and Angie Payne, the first American female to climb V13, who shares a woman's perspective on bouldering. More than 300 new color photos taken at the most popular bouldering locales throughout America and the world clearly demonstrate in dramatic fashion the concepts explained in the always entertaining text"--Provided by publisher.
