There’s plenty of clear photos to show exactly what’s being explained, and the guide does a really good job of catering for both beginner climbers and also covering more advanced techniques. The photos are also good for helping to summon up some motivation on those days when you really don’t feel like training!

I found the mental training section really valuable. It covers several different sections – motivation, confidence, fear of falling and dealing with failure, and gives practical advice on how to deal with anything you’re struggling with. There is a huge amount of stuff to work through and implement in your own climbing. Although there are a few references to and photographs of outdoor climbing, the content relates primarily to indoor bouldering or climbing walls. It is a highly visual book, and depicting subtle movements through a sequence of still photos is a challenge which does not always come off. The images are well-staged but the colour is a bit lurid at times. Really it is a collection of exercises intended to develop technique or strength/power in a climbing context. Each exercise is illustrated with multiple high quality photographs and a clear explanation both of the exercise and its purpose. There are also anecdotes and action photos from high performing Norwegian climbers for inspiration. If you’re only going to read one Everest book this decade, make it The Third Pole. . . .

They also help to link the exercises to "real" climbing, giving additional motivation and inspiration. It’s an excellent book, and the exercises are oriented around the climbing wall - that is, both technique and strength/power exercises are built to be practised on the wall or using infrastructure found at the climbing gym (like fingerboards). I appreciate the emphasis on technique first, strength second. This is a very substantial book on the technical, physical and mental tactics to become a better climber.The first section focuses on your technique, with emphasis on footwork, grip positions, balance, direction of force and dynamics, among other things. The second section features exercises to help you train strength and power – with on-the-wall exercises, finger strength and fingerboarding exercises, arm exercises and more. Also included is a section for children and young climbers to help their parents and coaches create great sessions for kids. This chapter presents games, technique exercises and physical training ideas for children.
