Climbing Self-Rescue: Essential Skills, Technical Tips & Improvised Solutions Review: Safty - A must have for any mountaineers Review: Great for refining skills, not the most novice friendly - This is a great book, especially if you have already encountered many of these topics and are looking to refine your technique or learn new tips and tricks. However, I think this book falls short of what it could be due to the layout and the selected images for demoing complex tasks. Throughout the book the authors follow a format of describing the steps and then show a full series of photos with abbreviated captions. Particularly for the more complex tasks later in the books, the photos are taken from too far away and are too busy to pick out exactly what the authors want you to focus on unless you are already familiar with what they are trying to demo. From a learning perspective, it is much better to have the full-value description right alongside the photo demoing the technique so folks can practice at home without constantly flipping back and forth between the description section and the photo section. Many of the photos could be replaced with well-illustrated diagrams to make it easier for the reader to understand what they are meant to focus on. I think a combination of reformatting + redoing the photos would make this a 5/5 and the go-to book for learning self-rescue regardless of prior exposure. I am glad I bought this book, and I will certainly be referencing it in the future during self-rescue practice sessions. For those completely new to these topics, I would recommend taking a self-rescue course with a qualified guide or reading a more approachable book like Andy Kirkpatrick's Down and practicing the skills there before progressing to this book to refine your technique. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #72,407 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Rock Climbing #27 in Mountain Climbing #115 in Hiking & Camping Instructional Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (23) | | Dimensions | 6.91 x 0.64 x 8.54 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1680516205 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1680516203 | | Item Weight | 1.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | February 20, 2024 | | Publisher | Mountaineers Books | ## Images ![Climbing Self-Rescue: Essential Skills, Technical Tips & Improvised Solutions - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818fNf5E7GL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Safty *by J***Z on January 24, 2026* A must have for any mountaineers ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for refining skills, not the most novice friendly *by J***S on August 7, 2025* This is a great book, especially if you have already encountered many of these topics and are looking to refine your technique or learn new tips and tricks.
