The must-have handbook on rescue techniques for serious climbers

Whether you need to assist your partner past a difficult section of a climb or rappel down a multipitch route with an injured climber, you owe it to yourself and your fellow climbers to be prepared. How to Climb(TM) Self-Rescue fully describes and illustrates a variety of techniques that every climber needs to know for safety and self-reliance.

The first edition of this book was the authority on rescue techniques for rock climbers. Now completely updated and revised with the latest techniques-and accompanied by Mike Clelland's clear, detailed illustrations--David Fasulo's How to Climb(TM) Self-Rescue remains the definitive resource on the topic.
