Knots & Ropes for Climbers (Outdoor and Nature)

This book came quickly and as advertised. Thank you!

If you want to learn about knots this this a great book.

Decent read, good information, I'd probably buy it again. Just wish the diagrams were more step by step instead of random pics throughout the process

I bought this book with some paracord to learn how to tie knots and ropes to start practicing some amateur climbing. I must say this is the best book to learn how to tie all your essential climbers knots. Not only does it show you how to tie all the knots you need to know through illustrations, the book also shows you all the knots primary and secondary uses, rope care, which rope to use and buy, as well as rope terminology, which is actually quite fun. This book will fulfil all your needs when just learning about how to tie some cool knots or trying to get into the sport of climbing. This book is a must have.

This is a great little book. There is a page for every knot used in climbing, complete with diagrams for how to tie the knots, and instructions about their best (and worst) uses. The book even includes knots that should never be used in climbing, so that you can recognize what to avoid. It tells you how to improvise a harness if the need arises, how to tie off a damaged section of rope, and when to use a Prussik vs a Klemheist. The diagrams are easy to follow, and the explanations are clear and helpful. Every climber should get this book. This should not be your only guide to climbing outdoors, though, since it does not give much information about self-rescue or how and where to set anchors. It's really just about knots.

The book offers easy instructions for tying 19 fundamental climbing knots and 16 extra variations - and how to use these knots safely and effectively. Each knot is carefully illustrated with copious drawings and its primary and secondary uses are described.Anyone involved in rock climbing or mountaineering needs to understand these knots. In fact, anyone whose safety depends on a rope will benefit from this book.There is expert advice on:o what knots to trust and when to trust themo types and grades of rope, cord and webbingo what works best with what hardwareo rope care, treatment, testing and storageo how to tie daisy chains, aiders and harnesseso the most efficient way to use knots and ropes in basic and challenging situations.

Simple and concise, accurate, entertaining. A book like this that can make you better at something quickly is worth the price. Follow the directions and practice, and you'll always know right cordwork from wrong. When you're 150 feet off the deck, it's good to be sure about what you know. This book helps.

Helpful illustrations and writing

A GREAT LITTLE BOOK ,REALY INFORMATIVE,AND WELL WRITEN,FULL OF TIPS ON MOST THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOWAND HOW TO DO IT RIGHT.

Good book until I tied a knot and fell.......so not here now

very handy

A great overview of the basic to intermediate climbing/rigging knots. (or bends and bights as you will learn if you buy this book). A great little book that you can take anywhere - a hiking knapsack, a tool bag, car, school bag, etc. Features a nice history, general overview, notes on maintenance and of course a nice selection of the most crucial and popular climbing knots. You needn't be a climber to take advantage of these knots. Those in the film, theatrical, live event, industrial and rigging sectors will find them equally as useful. Also great for everday people - tying a tree to your trailer or securing pick up loads, camping. etc.

questo manuale unisce dei disegni molto belli a buone descrizioni di nodi e legature differenti utilizzate nelle moderne tecniche di arrampicata.
