What I’ve always loved about the guiding community is the focus on sharing tried and true techniques with the goal of improving safety and efficiency. This book is an aggregate of skills, tips and tricks that are the result of years of training, experience and collaboration between some of the most qualified guides and instructors in the business. It is sure to become a “must-have” manual for those who want to improve their technical rope skills for both climbing and guiding.
