Product Description

This book is aimed at the novice trad leader, who may have climbing experience, but is unfamiliar with the systems used in trad leading. As title implies, this book contains the information needed to become a safe trad leader.

In addition to discussing basic topics such as gear placement, anchor building, rope management, route finding, multi-pitch climbing, the author also discusses self-rescue basics and decision making. Photographs give step by step instructions, while drawings by Tami Knight are emphasize important points.

A Good Book!
I originally bought this book because I recognized the location of many of the photographs. A silly reason to buy a book, perhaps, but I have found it a valuable resource.

I have had the privilege of meeting the author several times, while climbing. The first time I met her, I happened to have my copy of the book with me in the car, so I ran back and got it, so she could sign it.

Heidi's enthusiasm for teaching climbing comes across in the book as it does in person.

Good book
We sell this one where I work, and I've read most of it. It does a really good job at explaining the basics and I got a lot out of it, being the non-climber that I am.
