The technical protection systems are covered, of course. But 30 years of alpine climbing experience has convinced the authors that mastery -- and safety -- lie in the far more difficult task of knowing exactly which techniques to use, where and when. Therefore, they teach step-by-step decision-making skills, providing scenarios, checklists, and self-posed questions to inform the decision process. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlpine Climbing\u003c\/em\u003e assumes some prior knowledge, primarily in rock climbing skills and techniques. Basic knots, belaying, rappelling, building rock anchors, leading, placing rock protection, and movement skills on rock: variations of these skills that are of particular value in the alpine environment are addressed in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountaineers Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20676061233206,"sku":"8827","price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0140\/2791\/5318\/products\/mountaineers-books-alpine-climbing-techniques-to-take-you-higher.jpg?v=1608099406","url":"https:\/\/featheredfriends.live\/en-ca\/products\/mountaineers-books-alpine-climbing-techniques-to-take-you-higher","provider":"Feathered Friends","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
