Rock Climbing Reading ‘Rock Climbing’,
the second in a series of books produced by Mountain
Leader Training, will help you develop skills and
techniques that will stay with you for the rest of
your life. Skills that at the very least will boost
your confidence and at best could even save your life.
Free from indecision and self doubt, you’ll enjoy
the mountains safe in the knowledge that you’re
bang up to date on the latest equipment and climbing
techniques and able to spot hazards before they turn
into dangers.
"The Rockclimbing book is excellent. ...... Well written, the language, illustrations and photographs are all very clear. It's a tremendous achievement to bring together another, such high quality volume so soon after Hillwalking, well done!"
Helen Lawless - Development Officer:
Mountaineering Council of Ireland
Well done for producing ‘Rock Climbing’ - it looks and reads great. I've had a good read of it this evening and consider it to be quite brilliant.
Jamie Holding, IFMGA Mountain Guide
RRP: £16.99
I think this book will be read by new
climbers and established ones, and by recreational climbers
and instructors. There
is a system used in the book where ‘notes for instructors’ are
presented in boxes to distinguish them from material of
interest to all climbers, a useful distinction for both
types of reader. My guess is that this book will become
an essential item in a climber’s library.

Chair of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors

Self Rescue for Climbers DVD
Aimed at recreational climbers, Self Rescue for Climbers is a comprehensive guide to solving problems encountered in such situations as multi pitching in the mountains, sea cliffs or roadside crags. The DVD’s format enables the viewer to access relevant information quickly, providing a basic toolbox of techniques which can be applied in actual conditions.
The DVD has been produced by Steve Long (BMG Guide) and Olly Sanders (MIC), both highly experienced instructors and coaches with many years' experience teaching rescue skills at Plas y Brenin, the National Mountain Centre.
With scenarios filmed on famous climbs in such locations as Malham, Gogarth, the Llanberris Pass and Tremadoc, Self Rescue for Climbers is not only 90 minutes of expert instruction, but also a stunning tribute to the possibilities available to the recreational climber in North Wales.
