"The essential manual for intermediate climbers who want to make the jump to advanced climbing ability. In the sport of rock climbing, 5.12 is a magical grade of difficulty - the rating that separates intermediate climbers from the sport’s elite. Many intermediate climbers mistakenly believe that climbs of 5.12 difficulty are simply beyond their reach. This revised and updated edition dispels that myth, and shows average climbers how they can achieve heights previously considered the exclusive domain of the full-time climber. How to Climb 5.12is a performance guidebook that will help climbers attain the most rapid gains in climbing ability possible. Hörst provides streamlined tips and suggestions on such critical issues as cutting-edge strength training, mental training, and climbing strategy. The perfect manual to help intermediate climbers quickly along the road to mastery."--Provided by publisher.
