A valuable learning tool...set!

I found this fascinatingly worthwhile, and admired how thorough and painstaking Sam Connelly is here. He gives his listeners a complete guidebook about the two kinds of rock climbing without boring us. My favorite moment was when he provided a lexicon of climbing terms, and we came to "barn door," which is when the climber looses purchase on the wall face and perilously swings away from it like a door. The thought that this is common enough to merit a term gave me even more respect for the climbers everywhere.

I highly recommend this audiobook.

A guide to be a skilled hiker.

A tough sport is only for tough macho guys, but it doesn't mean that a normal man cannot perform it. One of these tough sports is mountaineering. Mountaineering is a sport that combines climbing and hiking up mountains. It is usually done on regular terrain, rocky areas, and ice or snow slopes.

Mountaineering is not easy at all but requires hard work and exercise so that your muscles develop to do it.

This book is a basic guide for those who want to build climbing skills. The narrator of this book explain so well the steps mentioned in this book, so that everyone can do a mountaineering.

Great Intro to the mountaineering

Always found it fascinating, especially after watching those exhilarating documentaries on Youtube. Never had the nerve to even think about it, until I read this book. It's overwhelming at first, but it helps break everything down great. Goes over everything about mountaineering, including the safety aspect, which helped to reassure me a bit.

Good book for people getting into rock climbing

I have so many people in my life who are trying to get me into rock climbing as a way to keep myself active and healthy. I am a regular gym goer and some days pumping iron is not something I want to do. I want something more fun and dynamic; hence, my friends recommended rock climbing would be a fun social workout for me. I like that this book helps me introduce rock climbing to a beginner like me. It talks about terminology, climbing techniques, and safety precautions climbers have to take. The book is easy to digest and understand.
