An encyclopaedic study of the art of descent - a single source for all descent techniques, both the well established and ideal for the novice climber, as well as the cutting edge, high value techniques for experienced and professional climbers.
At 80,000 words (400 pages) and 300 illustrations, this is both a labour of love and an important and timely book for a community that loses far too many climbers to rappelling accidents.
Very clear black and white line drawings throughout, plus occasional monochrome photographs.
Written and illustrated over three years by award winning climber and writer Andy Kirkpatrick (Psychovertical, Cold Wars, 1001 Climbing Tips, Higher Education), and is based on four decades of epics, retreats and total ****-ups!
Card cover, 22.5cm x 15cm, 420 pages.
