Basic Rockcraft

This book covers the basic techniques of rockcraft. Starting with ropes and knots, it then covers other climbing gear: nuts, pitons, 'binners, bongs, etc. Belays are discussed in detail, then follows a most complete discussion of the various grips and holds. Excellent drawings by Sheridan Anderson illustrate each of these points and these are supplemented by many photos - all of which have been modeled by some of the outstanding climbers of Yosemite, all close friends of author Robbins. While this book is labeled "Basic Rockcraft," it carries the reader through all of the techniques needed for most high-angle climbs. While the student will be able to successfully climb many of the standard climbs, the cutoff point for "basic" is the threshold for leading of advanced ascents.
