The Rock Climber's Training Manual Review: I now better understand training and how to make a plan - This book finally helped me organize and better understand my training and I'm getting good results without injury. Hey, that's the gold standard right! It's thorough and provides enough of a basis to form a basic program that can be modified with experience. You can read enough to get started then review each chapter as you come to that training block. I highly recommend it. Review: I decided I needed some fitness to really do my best, so I hired a trainer at my gym - I just thought I'd add a different perspective. I'm 63, female, and brand new to rock climbing. I'm also a Type 1 Diabetic on insulin pump. So I have kind of freaked out my family (and myself) with this sport, but having now climbed in Joshua Tree 6 or 7 times, I'm hooked. I decided I needed some fitness to really do my best, so I hired a trainer at my gym, but I could tell that what we were doing wouldn't help much on the rock. So I found this great book... and the thing I like so much is that it is a training manual for all levels of skill, including mine (which is about "none"). I don't know that my goal is to climb Denali. I'd be happy just to feel competent indoors and out on crags that inspire me... and I'd like to see my body lean and strong. And free. I see nearly everyone 'my age' just falling apart. Sitting. Getting fat. It's easy to do. But there is not a muscle in the body that doesn't get worked when you climb. Your core strength has to be incredible. Your fingers and toes have to be strong. And I never knew how to develop my forearms... now I do. I'll plan out my 17 weeks of training, and it may not look like anyone else's, but this book gives me all the tools I need to make it 'mine'. What I'm hoping is that when I return to Joshua Tree in the fall, there will be looks of wonder and amazement on the faces of the guides who just saw me a few months ago. (not laughter... 'wonder' :-) ) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,020,398 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9,145 in Exercise & Fitness (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (202) | | Dimensions | 11 x 7.5 x 0.75 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0989515613 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0989515610 | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | March 15, 2014 | | Publisher | Fixed Pin Publishing | | Reading age | 12 years and up | ## Images ![The Rock Climber's Training Manual - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tEVIjJ8VL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I now better understand training and how to make a plan *by J***G on March 5, 2026* This book finally helped me organize and better understand my training and I'm getting good results without injury.

'wonder' :-) ) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The layout is beautiful, with many great pictures *by R***L on March 23, 2016* From detailed instructions on how to perform specific exercises to scientific explanations of how our muscles work, this book is the most thorough book on the topic I have read. The layout is beautiful, with many great pictures, helpful insets and examples of workouts and schedules for beginners and advanced climbers alike. I love the explanations of our physiology and how nerdy the Anderson brothers are in their approach to training. Their work allows climbers to gain strength without spending all day in the gym and they address skill development and specificity of training to the projects one wants to climb. I am empowered to take my training into my own hands and tailor it to my goals. Furthermore, the website provides lots of additional material and Mark and Mike are actively adding advice and answering questions, so the resources they provide extend beyond this book. I cannot recommend this book enough! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/40615160-the-rock-climbers-training-manual](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/40615160-the-rock-climbers-training-manual) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
