Booklist - 04/01/2016 Rock climbing appeals to all ages, but it requires proper equipment, endurance, training, teamwork, and focused attention. It can be a strenuous day hike on a rocky trail or a thrilling scaling of a sheer cliff. No matter the choice, climbers must consider their preparedness for the task. This volume in the Adventure Sports series offers a brief overview that examines types of climbs and appropriate planning and gear for each. Turnbull stresses safety and offers advice for emergencies. The somewhat busy two-page spreads focus on a particular topic (e.g., belaying, ropes and knot tying, training on climbing walls) and feature limited narrative intermixed with generous text boxes and captioned photos. Strangely, no youth climbers appear in the illustrations despite being the book's target audience. Still, this remains a practical primer on rock-climbing basics. - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
