Eric Horst is THE expert on training for climbing. This book is by far the most up-to-date and complete source on everything from the mental to technical to the physical aspects relating to climbing. It provides and explains the concepts in simple terms and provides the scientific reasoning behind them. Proven strategies that work.

Training for Climbing, Mar 4 2011
By Spider Monkey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Training for Climbing, 2nd: The Definitive Guide to Improving Your Performance (Paperback)
This is an outstanding book about training for climbing. It covers a wide range of topics and all with a solid scientific basis. The writing style is extremely easy to read and entertaining to boot. I have to say I disagree with the reviewer who said there is too much focus on mental training. This is a small, but integral part of this book. This book looks at mental training, skills and strategy, strength training, personal programs, nutrition, recovery and injury prevention. It also includes training charts you can use, additional tips and a comprehensive glossary. All in all an excellent guide to training from a respected climber and climbing journalist. Highly recommended for beginner or more experienced climber alike.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
