Performance Rock Climbing

Rating:
Summary: Useful but occasionally confusing
Review: This is the definitive book on how to train for rock climbing. It includes various different types of training and how to incorporate them into workouts both on and off the rock. It's the sort of text that must be referred to repeatedly -- reading it once won't be enough! Performance Rock Climbing would benefit greatly from a detailed glossary for those of us who are not experts in exercise physiology, and some sections, particularly the one concerning periodization, are difficult to understand. Still, anyone serious about improving performance should buy this book.
