Advanced Rock Climbing, written by AMGA certified Single Pitch Rock Climbing Instructor Bob Gaines, covers concepts and topics that pertain to today's rock climbers looking to take their skills and experience to the next level. Combining up-to-date and complete information on toproping, anchors, rappelling, safety and rescue techniques, gear, and so much more in one comprehensive book, Advanced Rock Climbing is a must-have title for any serious climber or climbing instructor.Whereas Falcon's earlier guide, the Trad Climber's Bible, is largely a book of stories with hard-learned lessons, Advanced Rock Climbing will be targeted toward the same "trad" audience, but contain more technical information about gear, climbing techniques, and safety. The book will also include an in-depth chapter on aid climbing, covering the "Yosemite Method" of aid technique, including leading leads an aid pitch, trailing a haul line, hauling the gear bag while the second climber jumars, as well as information on how to safely follow pendulums and traverses.
