Trad Climber's Bible

by John Long, Peter Croft

Overview

Traditional, or simply, trad climbing, is a do-it-yourself adventure requiring the climbing team to negotiate the climb and to carry, hand-place and remove most if not all components of the roped safety system. In The Trad Climber’s Bible, two of the most revered and respected trad climbers in the world, John Long and Peter Croft, offer hard-won knowledge to aspiring trad climbers in a narrative format that is as informative as it is entertaining. With photos by iconic climbing photographer Greg Epperson and AMGA Certified Rock Instructor Bob Gaines, this full color book will appeal to climbers of all stripes.

Editorial Reviews

“There's no substitute for experience. The Trad Climber's Bible captures two lifetimes of experience through classic essays of personal adventure and to-the-point anecdotes per lessons learned.
