Title: How to Climb: Clip and Go! by John Long ISBN: 0-934641-84-6 Publisher: Falcon Pub. Date: 01 January, 1994 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $6.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (3 reviews)

Summary: Short but sweet
Comment: This is a little book! Do not expect hours of engrossing reading. For most people this can be read in the car on the way down to the rocks. However the information it does offer is very good and thorough, though obviously limited in the number of topics covered.
The reason to buy this book is in the chapters about belaying and rope tricks. The section about equipment is quite extensive as well, but unfortunately there is a lot of information here that is either incomplete, just plain wrong, or prone to misunderstanding. Therefore I would advise not to trust just this book as your source of information about gear.
I think this book should be added to 'Sport Climbing' to make one complete reference for sport climbing, but at the moment we will have to stick with two separate volumes.
If you are a beginner starting out of the gym onto the rock, definitely get this book, if only for the belaying hints!
Climb safe! Slim

Summary: good
Comment: This book takes the scariness once associated with the clip and go routes. This book has greatly improved my climbing. Thanks

Summary: Another inexpensive jewel by John Long and Duane Raleigh
Comment: The drawings alone are worth the $6 cost. Considering that this and Robyn Erbesfield's "Sport Climbing with Robyn Erbesfield" (possibly overpriced at $14.95, 92 pages, paperback) are the main books on this new facet of climbing, you can't go wrong with John and Duane's. They advise that this book is NOT for beginners, as clip-and-go routes under 5.10b are the exception and it does NOT teach you how to clasp holds and use your feet. But they do cover all the basics of sport climbing in sufficient detail to help you get into this arena
