Review: I decided I needed some fitness to really do my best, so I hired a trainer at my gym - I just thought I'd add a different perspective. I'm 63, female, and brand new to rock climbing. I'm also a Type 1 Diabetic on insulin pump. So I have kind of freaked out my family (and myself) with this sport, but having now climbed in Joshua Tree 6 or 7 times, I'm hooked. I decided I needed some fitness to really do my best, so I hired a trainer at my gym, but I could tell that what we were doing wouldn't help much on the rock. So I found this great book... and the thing I like so much is that it is a training manual for all levels of skill, including mine (which is about "none"). I don't know that my goal is to climb Denali. I'd be happy just to feel competent indoors and out on crags that inspire me... and I'd like to see my body lean and strong. And free. I see nearly everyone 'my age' just falling apart. Sitting. Getting fat. It's easy to do. But there is not a muscle in the body that doesn't get worked when you climb. Your core strength has to be incredible. Your fingers and toes have to be strong. And I never knew how to develop my forearms... now I do. I'll plan out my 17 weeks of training, and it may not look like anyone else's, but this book gives me all the tools I need to make it 'mine'. What I'm hoping is that when I return to Joshua Tree in the fall, there will be looks of wonder and amazement on the faces of the guides who just saw me a few months ago. (not laughter... 'wonder' :-) ) ## Features - Publisher: Fixed Pin Publishing - Publication Date: 2013 - Author: Michael L. Anderson, Mark L.

'wonder' :-) ) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From my viewpoint this book does the best job I've seen both explaining the benefits of training *by J***E on November 30, 2014* This is the definitive guide for training for climbing performance. I own Horst's "Training for Climbing" as well as Hague's "The Self Coached Climber" (along with a ton of other climbing books that at least pay lip service to climbing training.) I've also been training people and groups in various aspects of fitness, from Parkour to general fitness, and from race training to Olympic Weightlifting for over a decade. From my viewpoint this book does the best job I've seen both explaining the benefits of training, the nuts and bolts of what training entails and how it works, as well as the best way to develop a training program for yourself and individualize it over time. This book is worth every penny, though I would suggest buying the hard copy so that you can bring it with you to the gym (it also comes with a great training log that helps you keep track of all of the hard work you'll be putting in.) If you're interested in taking your climbing to the next level and don't want to just leave it to chance, buy this book now! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/40615160-the-rock-climbers-training-manual](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/40615160-the-rock-climbers-training-manual) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
