Advanced Rockcraft

In his best-selling climbing manual, Basic Rockcraft, Royal Robbins covered the fundamentals of technical climbing. Here, in Advanced Rockcraft, Robbins takes up the problems and basic skills involved in route-finding and actual achievement. With the strong drive to preserve and protect the delicate rock surfaces - to eliminate the indiscriminate hole drilling and flake destruction by careless use of brutal hardware and tools - Robbins here discusses in detail the important field of Chockcraft - the use of chocks, nuts, hangers, etc.
