Rock Climbing
by Tom Greve
Review by Cesar
"Rock Climbing" gives many details on rock climbing, for example, there are two types of rock climbing. Boulder climbing is one of them, boulder climbing is when you don't use any gear to climb, just your bare hands and feet. The second one is called rope climbing. Rope climbing is when you do use gear, like ropes and harnesses to climb a mountain. For those who want to start rock climbing, the book recommends to begin with indoor climbing to get used to the way you are going to climb. It also states that to climb you will need strong fingers, feet, and muscles to be able to push, pull and maintain your weight when climbing mountains. The first men to climb Mount Everest were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing in May 1953. I recommend this book to all ages and those thinking of doing an extreme sport.
Cesar, a well done review, thank you! There is information here not only about the book, but enough information that I know that I don't really want to go rock climbing! Who wants strong feet?! :0), Mrs. Haas
