Reviews | lisae | A Good Book! | | 
Voted 5/5 | 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. | | Posted Jan 25, 2007 2:29 am |

Hasn't voted | 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. | | Posted Jan 25, 2007 2:28 pm |
