Summary:
"The anchoring systems most popular among climbers. Most climbers today learn their craft on artificial
climbing
walls and on sport routes with fixed protection. Their first efforts to lead on trad routes often come as a rude shock--they find that they haven't the skills and training to safeguard the climb or to set up solid belays. This new edition of
Climbing
Anchors
is the climber's complete and authoritative source of information on protection, from fundamental knots to sophisticated rigging and equalizing skills"--Provided by publisher.
A comprehensive
guide
to anchoring systems for rock climbers.
