About this title

Review:

The most valuable skill you can acquire as a traditional climber is the ability to build sturdy, reliable anchors. Without that, no amount of natural talent or dumb luck will allow you to live a long, healthy life as a rock climber. Fortunately, John Long's guide to climbing anchors is a definitive source, with sections on natural, equalized, haul bag, and rappelling anchors. Whether you're using spring-loaded, camming devices or the old-school, passive tri-cams, Long presents a number of creative options for nearly every possible situation. Long is a patient teacher and his writing is clear and concise, but it's the hundreds of illustrations that really drive his lessons home. --Benjamin Tiffany

From the Back Cover:

For the first time, a book has been devoted to the art of placing and configuring secure and safe rock climbing anchors. John Long, the author of the sport's standard textbook, How To Rock Climb!, again offers a cogent, informative and definitely entertaining perspective on this, the single most important subject of safe climbing.
