Good Book May 20, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this book after my first canyoneering one day course. I wanted to have a book handy to review what I had learnt, and this was the only one I could find of the sort.
Overall, it is a very good book that goes through all the steps of rappelling, with many good pictures throughout. There is a high emphasis on safety, and it was interesting to read about some things that had not been mentioned in the course (such as why the "American Triangle" is such a bad setup)
Still, I would not use it alone to learn how to rappel. Besides the obvious value of having an instructor, the book was also very short, and left some things out, such as how to use a Piranha device (popular with canyoneers) and modern mechanical descender backups, like the Petzl Shunt.
As tools are always evolving, this book will not give you the complete picture both in terms of technology, and also what techniques might be considered better form today.
