Summary: definitely a must-read
Comment: If you're looking for a book that explains not only what to do to increase your climbing performance but also how to do and why to do, don't look further, get Soles' book right away. I got into mountain climbing 3 years ago and all through these years I craved for a book about training for mountaineering explaining the principles and containing useful sample programs, but all that stuff out there were about training for rock climbing only, except Mark Twight's Extreme Alpinism with its valuable chapters on training. Twight's book is excellent, though the chapters about training are not detailed enough naturally, it's not a book about training after all. Well, I don't have to crave anymore, I found what I was looking for and more in Clyde's book. It doesn't matter if you're an alpinist or a sport climber or whatever, I'm sure this book will work for everyone.
Maybe most important of all, take Clyde's word, learn to have fun while training. This book surely will help you on this one...

Summary: Soles fills Climbing Traing gap
Comment: After reading this book my first thought was I don't need to write the book on climbing training i had planned. As a sports physiologist, trainer and climber I had been disappointed by the lack of scientically sound and useful book on training for climbing, soles has filled this gap.
Whilst I don't agree with all of soles theories, these are minor differences due mainly to differnet interpretations of research.
As with all sports, climbing needs to much more extensive research into performance and training, but Soles has produced and excellent volume with current knowledge.
All in all an excellent book I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone interested in improving there climbing performance, no matter what your level of climber. An emminently readable and usefull book.

Summary: Fill's Out The Climber's Training Bookshelf
Comment: Clyde has done an excellent job of taking on the strength and endurance issues relative to climbing. You won't find the technique focus of other successful climbing instructionals such as Performance Rock Climbing or Flash Training, but you will find much solid background for developing depth and background in your aerobic and anaerobic programs. Much good reference information is included also.
