This site started its life as a way of presenting the images from the ebook High: Advanced Multipitch Climbing, by David Coley and Andy Kirkpatrick. In order to keep the cost of the book to a minimum most of these were not included in the book. However the site has grown to be far more extensive and now contains much original material not in the book, together with an appendix covering most knots used in climbing, an essay on climbing grades and a bibliography in the form of web links. We suggest you print some of the PDFs and take them on your travels. We would also love you to buy the book – which costs less than a screwgate. Remember, climbing will kill you if you mess up. If you don’t know what you are doing seek professional help from a qualified guide, and don’t rely on a book or website to keep you safe. However you learn them, all new techniques you learn should be tried out first somewhere safe with appropriate backups. When under pressure, tired and cold using an approach you don’t have totally dialled is asking for trouble, or for a shortened life. Often simple makes sense, so always ask yourself if an approach that might shave a few minutes off a route, but is more open to failure if used incorrectly, is really worth it. A note on gender: in the text the leader is always female, and the second(s) male. Hopefully this makes it a little easier to understand some of the complex sequences of actions. Please use the following links to buy the book. It costs about $9, or £6 - less than a locking carabiner Amazon USA (kindle) / Amazon UK (kindle) / itunes / kobo With the exception of any marked COPYRIGHTED, you are free to use any of these pictures in any non-commercial way including climbing forums, but please reference the book.
