Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills

by: The Mountaineers
This book was the primary text for an Intermediate Backcountry Skills course at Saratoga, California's West Valley College. If you're just starting to explore the backcountry and need an all-inclusive primer, it's pretty complete. The first 130 pages set the stage for beginners, and they're a good refresher for experienced backcountry travelers.

The climbing sections complement live instruction in belaying, rappelling and footwork on faces and cracks. They also give a clear explanation of knots for rescue and climbing.

Rock Climbing: Mastering Basic Skills

by: Craig Luebben
I bought this book along with "Rock Climbing Anchors: A Comprehensive Guide" by the same author. And I just want to say that these books are terrific. A definite must for the bookshelf of anyone interested in climbing.

This book is well written and details many anchoring systems, knots, climbing skills, etc. This book is great if you are interested in any sort of outdoor climbing and if you have any questions about just about any topic in rock climbing at all. And, for more seasoned climbers this book offers many technical tips and suggestions that may make you look at some things in a different (more helpful way).

Climbing Self Rescue: Improvising Solutions for Serious Situations

by: Andy Tyson, Molly Loomis
I own Sylvan Rocks Climbing School here in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I see more epics (with other parties) then I care to admit. If you are going out climbing, the knowledge in this book is no optional. Gravity plays for keeps and when something bad starts and gravity takes over, its hard to stop. When it does stop, if you know how to pick up the pieces and use the knowledge offered up in this book, you will greatly improve your chances of getting yourself and your partner down safely.
