And some climbers are buying the holds from specialised companies and setting up walls at home. The Indoor Climbing Manual is an authoritative and comprehensive guide, steering the reader through the variety of styles, skills and techniques needed to master the climbing wall, and includes: · An introduction to the equipment required · Top rope climbing, lead climbing and bouldering techniques · Advanced techniques and training to improve your climbing · Guidelines on how to climb safely and prevent injury · Tips for the transition from indoor to outdoor climbing · An overview of competitive climbing
