Mountaineers Books Rock Climbing: Mastering Basic Skills
$19.95
Description of Mountaineers Books Rock Climbing: Mastering Basic SkillsCraig Luebben has taught rock climbing basics to hundreds of clients and has conducted self-rescue clinics across the U.S. Here he presents the most common foot positions, hand grips, and body positions and how to use them precisely, from the smear to the crimp to the twistlock.

Description of Mountaineers Books Alpine Climbing: Techniques to Take You HigherThis intermediate-level guide addresses tools, skills, and techniques used in alpine terrain including rock, snow, ice, and glaciers at moderate altitude-approximately 5000 meters (16,000 feet) and lower.

But 30 years of alpine climbing experience has convinced the authors that mastery-and safety-lie in the far more difficult task of knowing exactly which techniques to use, where and when. Therefore, they teach step-by-step decision-making skills, providing scenarios, checklists, and self-posed questions to inform the decision process. Alpine Climbing assumes some prior knowledge, primarily in rock climbing skills and techniques. Basic knots, belaying, rappelling, building rock anchors, leading, placing rock protection, and movement skills on rock: variations of these skills that are of particular value in the alpine environment are addres

I have a a requirement to climb a 20 foot free dangling rope(hands only).
Right now i cant climb past my own body height!

working your biceps might help, but mostly you gotta work your back muscles.
people often dont realize it, but strenghtening your forearms and hands is very important in exercises like climbing a rope.
