The rise of standards over just the last decade, along with the emergence of thousands of new routes and hundreds of new crags, has changed the face of sport climbing so drastically that an anthology of gear, tactics, belay skills, and ropework techniques have been developed and modified to tackle these modern challenges.
Sport Climbing: From Top Rope to Redpoint, Techniques For Climbing Success intends to define the new face of this exceptional discipline, and to address both the basics for getting started as well as the cutting-edge strategies that climbers use to redpoint routes at their physical and mental limits. These techniques will help any climber on any route, whether 5.8 or 5.15.
No matter how seriously you take it, or what grade you climb, there is one underlying truth that you will hear repeated throughout this book: sport climbing is the very best way to improve your abilities as a rock climber.
