Speed Climbing!, 2nd: How to Climb Faster and Better (How To Climb Series)

"The only thing better than climbing is more climbing," says climber and author Hans Florine. This book is a complete introduction to the techniques of speed climbing, including training, soloing, simul-climbing, passing, equipment, and more. Also includes a history of speed climbing and compiles speed-climbing records. Hans Florine and Bill Wright pried themselves off the rock long enough to update this new edition of Climb On! because, as they say, "The only thing better than climbing is more climbing!" Mixing humor with history, personal experiences, and lots of common sense and good advice, they offer other climbers the tips they've used successfully for moving faster up and down the rock. The techniques, illustrations, and inspirational stories offered in this book will have you climbing more routes more often in no time.
