This comprehensive four-season manual, a revised and expanded edition of the popularClimbing Rock and Ice, covers both techniques and equipment for all facets of this increasingly popular sport, including rock climbing, ice climbing, and indoor climbing walls.

Author Jerry Cinnamon has taught climbing for years and originally developed this book for a college class on mountain leadership. He knows what questions climbers ask, and he has the answers.
