"The only thing better than climbing is more climbing," says climber and author Hans Florine. This book is a complete introduction to the techniques of speed climbing, including training, soloing, simul-climbing, passing, equipment, and more. Also includes a history of speed climbing and compiles speed-climbing records.
"This book is not just for a few highly skilled climbers who have elevated the sport to a high art. This is for those of use who want to get down without bivying, beat a thunderstorm, or get in a raft of pitches in the few pathetic hours we have available. It is a trove of practical information--detailed yet accessible, sprightly and humorous.
"--Alison Osius, Executive Editor, Rock and Ice magazine, author, and former national champion in sport climbing
