Overview
This is a handbook on how sport climbing techniques, materials and training methods have evolved – an evolution that has made sport climbing increasingly popular and turned it into an Olympic discipline.
Today, sport climbing is the fastest growing sport in Italy and one of the fastest growing in the world. It is coached much more thoroughly than ever by a new generation of coaches and trainers, drawing more and more very young enthusiasts.
This handbook embraces everything that has been challenged and revolutionised in recent years and includes an inspiring image gallery.
