Product Details


Product Description

Book Description

Ultrasafe is designed for use by rock climbers with beginning to intermediate knowledge. The book is an ideal supplement to climbing classes, other instructional books, and practice climbing. By using the "hazard identification" system at its core, Ultrasafe focuses on rock climbing safety like no other available guide. The book is not designed as a basic instructional manual or for use by those with no basic knowledge or experience in rock climbing.

Ultrasafe is ideal for those climbers transitioning from gym to outdoor sport and from sport to traditional climbing.

About the Author

George B. Allen first climbed in 1974 with Rainier Mountain Guides when he capped Mt. Rainier at age 15. Since then, Mr. Allen climbed prolifically throughout the western US, logging more than 2000 days on the crags during the past 27 years.

Starting in 1996, Mr. Allen worked as a safety professional in industry and government. At the time of publication, he served US OSHA as a Safety Officer in Denver, CO.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confident climbing for life, July 12 2004
By G. Krauspe (Wheaton, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is for any climber at any level - sport, trad, whatever. I am a 48 year old novice climber, and this book has provided an enormous amount of information I never considered or found in any other book or class. Essential stuff.
My son is quite advanced and has added his endorsement - great info, cool pictures.
We just got back from Lander, Wyoming where we met and climbed with George. He's the real deal! He climbs with passion and teaches the same way.
Climbing is a dangerous sport. This terrific book provides the means to minmize the hazards, and increase the pleasures. Get it now! It's a GREAT - and useful - read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Your Life Is Worth It!, Mar 29 2004
By Perry Allen "safeclimber" (Newmanstown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
I just completed an AMGA Course and I have to say this is one of the finest consolidations of safe climbing advice that I've seen to date. The suggestions are simple to follow and make you wonder 'Why didn't I think of that?' I've been a traditonal lead climber several years now and I can honestly say I'll be implementing some of the authors safety pointers the next time I'm on the rock.
