Summary: A must read if you want to start big-walls
Review: I read this book...did a lot of practicing, (got spanked a few times) and then climbed the Washinton Column's Southern Route & Prow along with the regular route on Half Dome and Zodiac on El Cap! No book will make you a good aid climber...but this book does as much as possible. If you're in doubt - buy it, its definetely worth the cover price.

Summary: Good reference
Review: The best way to learn to aid and climb big walls with the exception of going out there and doing it. A good reference for beginners. The illustrations are a little corny. Looked like a throw back to the 1970's. Illustrations probably lifted from "Climbing Big Walls," edited by Mike Strassman.
