from Vintage Classics
Customer Review:
Joe has a taut, spare style of writing. Perhaps the only negative one can point to is that he goes a little too much into techno-speak on mountaineering.

from Oak Knoll Pr
Customer Review:

OK BOOK WORTH THE MONEY. ISSUES ARE THE BINDING IS WEAK AND PAGES ARE STARTING TO FALL OUT IF I WANT TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE TRAIL FOR REFERENCE.

It's a great book once you get into it. I have found myself so busy with climbing this season already, I have little time to read it, however, what I have read has actually already begin to help my climbing, and it can be related to life off the rock as well, if you read into it. | 4.5 / 5.0
