The definitive guide to efficient climbing, this book covers the essential skills and techniques used to climb with minimal physical exertion. If you learn and develop these techniques, you will climb harder, and closest to your potential. Photos illustrate the wide range of skills covered which benefit new and experienced climbers alike. Links to videos demonstrating the techniques can be found in the book. They can also be sourced from the Plastic Heroes website or by requesting a copy from the author. Contact details are provided at the end. A holistic training plan is included to develop each skill and is designed to increase your overall technical ability and climbing performance. Following the training plan will also be beneficial to young climbers following the NICAS / NIBAS schemes. Coaching sections are also included to explain each topic so that you can provide input to your climbing partner, or coach others with confidence. These are designed to accompany the BMC Fundamentals 1 and 2 and Mountain Training coaching awards.
