Summary: Not much more info.
Review: Not much more info than available in "Climbing Anchors," by John Long. Mainly more pictures of various anchors. If you have a basic understanding of anchors, you can get away with not having this book.

Whether you are a beginning or an advanced climber, you will find yourself reading and re-reading this text, learning something new each time.
