'Overall, this is a well thought out book, which provides much for the novice and more experienced climber to practise and absorb. The book is targeted at both the beginner and climbing wall instructor, with information covering aspects of the CWA and NICAS schemes.

An interesting addition is a chapter on dry tooling. Although this may seem a bit odd, it does appear that a number of walls are allocating space for this activity, if only on a temporary basis, so some information on how to perform with style is welcome.

This book is well set out with Pete’s normal style of having notes for ‘Top Tips liberally scattered around. All in all, a well thought out and very useful book providing essential reading for novice climbers and instructors alike.'

'This book is aimed more at experienced climbers and instructors than beginners. It covers all relevant climbing wall awards and includes useful notes on the pros and cons on the various approaches to instruction and training. For the regular climber there is good advice on movement, warming-up and dry-tooling, in fact on anything that can be done on a climbing wall.

It is an impressive piece of work from Pete Hill and, like his previous book on mountaineering and rockclimbing, it is very well illustrated with colour photographs, ticklists and top tip sections.'
