About this audiobook
In recent years, there has been a huge influx of interest in climbing. Climbing gyms are popping up all over the place and new climbers are taking to the outdoors, but there aren’t enough old timers to pass on all of the necessary knowledge that comes with taking on such a sport. There is more to climbing than just going up a rock. Once you join the sport, you become part of a community, a family, and there are certain unwritten rules that should be adhered to. You wouldn’t want to give your new community bad name, just because you didn’t want to take the time to learn the ropes, pun intended.
Climbing isn’t about muscling your way up the wall. There are techniques you can learn that will make you more efficient and a better climber. In this book, you will learn the fundamentals of climbing and on what makes you a better climber. If you were to take one message out of this book, it is that there is a difference between being a better climber and a stronger climber. You want to be a better climber. Strength comes after. Employ the basics in this book and build a solid foundation of skill. Start slow to avoid any injuries. Be patient. And most importantly have fun!
