Summary: Can't Slow Down
Review: If you're getting into climbing and getting into it fast, there are about five books to get, and this is one. Eric Horst gives a solid overview about how to speed progress and avoid typical mistakes such as overtraining, a common problem that kept me in 5.9 longer than I needed. The progression from grade to grade is more a mental one than a physical one, as my weeklong slothfest followed by a near full number jump in climbing ability will attest. Buy this, Performance Rock Climbing by Dale Goddard, the Heather Sagar book, and as much John Long as you can afford, and you will move more quickly up the ladder. Or, you can lift and jog yourself to death and spend your money on fingerboards, supplements, and other dubious methods, and hang out at your current level for a few more months or years like the other groundlings. Success requires effort; efficient effort requires knowledge. Get some.

Summary: Very good book!!!
Review: This book is really good. It teaches a lot of concepts about climbing, especially about head games. It elucidates misconceptions about the importance of our mind when climbing. Many times one's mentally incapable of making a route , not fisically as we think. Lots of hours doing pull ups is not the way to go. Read this book and I am sure you will use your mind smartly next time you go climbing. How to set your mind to a climb was the most important lesson I've learned from this book although there are a lot of information about work outs, finger power, nutrition and so on...
