[.ca] How to Climb: Building Your Own Indoor Climbing Wall (ISBN 0934641730)

Book for climbers:
Althought this book was well written and a little useful, it seemed to me about making holds and construction techniques. I was looking for a book that might have info on self-belay and anchoring but the author writes that anchoring is a subject he doesn't want to write about and never mentions self-belay. He doesn't even mention floor padding for your home gym. It's a thin book for the money (26 pages) and the price per page was a little steep.

gimme a break!:
this isn't a book, it's a pamphlet! more info on the average website. iether add onto the book or don't waste my time. to think i waited for this book to arrive before i built my wall. to be fair, if it had a bit more info, it could be a good primer.

clearly explained and very useful:
I found this book very interesting. It is well organized and will serve people at all levels of experience. I would like to see more work by this author.

Weak:
This book hardly even covers the basics in building a wall. Very few diagrams and even fewer innovative ideas. He doesn't even bother to include many picture of walls in order to get ideas. Even the limited information free on the web surpasses the details in this book.

Pathetic:
This book is an awful intro to building indoor rock walls. Outdated and too thin. It reccommends creating your own holds which is a good way to make poor holds. The Metolious website offers at least as much info as this book and it's free. Unfortunately, there is no other book to reccommend that covers building indoor walls. Someone still needs to write it.
