About this deal

This book has a fantastic structure, and each chapter develops from the basics to a slightly more advanced perspective. It is a beautiful book, with a clear layout and some great anecdotes throughout. It has incredibly useful information through each chapter, with enough to keep any keen climber busy and to give you ideas to focus on.'– Emma Twyford, Chalkbloc Resumen del libro \"Poner a trabajar a la innovación\" de Tony Davila: Cómo gestionar, medir y beneficiarse de la innovación

However, it is important to note that this book is intended as a companion to The Climbing Bible (English translation published 2020). As such it leaves out endurance, flexibility and the mental side of climbing. Instead, the three chapters focus on Technique, Strength & Power and Children/Youth respectively, providing exercises whereby you can train these aspects. It also means that the book frequently refers to the earlier book, saying "we explained XYZ in that book". Whilst this book does stand alone, I suspect it might work even better if used in conjunction with the other book. Fortunately Vertebrate offers a bundle which will allow you to do just that.

It covers several different sections – motivation, confidence, fear of falling and dealing with failure, and gives practical advice on how to deal with anything you’re struggling with. There is a huge amount of stuff to work through and implement in your own climbing. Company information: BananaFingers, Unit 8 Whitehall Trading Estate, Gerrish Avenue, Bristol BS5 9DF, United Kingdom The name says it all, The Climbing Bible: Practical Exercises is a collection of exercises that have been collated to help you develop your climbing technique and strength.

Including two new chapters on Alex Honnold’s free solo ascent of the iconic 3,000-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The Strength and Power section compliments the technique section well, following the same procedure of breaking down exercises in detail and explaining the purpose for doing so as well as giving advice on how to progress through the levels of each exercises. For example how to gradually build up finger boarding strength or progress through the stages of developing the core strength to perform front-levers (whether I'll ever achieve this is another matter!). This is a useful, comprehensive resource that covers many aspects of a complex sport.’ – Vertical Life This is a great companion to the recent Climbing Bible by the same authors. It is divided into three main sections: technique, strength and power, and lastly training for children. Each technique or power strength tip has detailed text but is often accompanied by a small caption box which summarises the point of the exercise and this works well to help reinforce and refresh the memory of why you are doing it if the book is used as the authors intend it to be, taken to the wall and thumbed through and used as you are actually climbing, something I have had limited opportunity to do so far because of the pandemic but which I hope to do in the future.
