The Climbing Bible: Practical Exercises by Martin Mobraten and Stian Christophersen is a collection of exercises specifically designed for developing technique and strength for climbing. After two decades of climbing, training and coaching, the authors have built up a huge library of exercises, and they share many of them in this book. The first section focuses on technique, with emphasis on footwork, grip positions, balance, direction of force and dynamics, among other things. The second section features exercises to train specific strength and explosivity - with on-the-wall exercises, finger strength and fingerboarding exercises, arm exercises and more. Also included is a section for children and young climbers to help parents and coaches create great sessions for kids. This chapter presents games, technique exercises and physical training ideas for children. Illustrated with over 200 technique and action photos, and with insights from the authors and other top climbers, The Climbing Bible: Practical Exercises is designed to inspire readers to try new exercises in every training session. Keep it in your climbing wall bag, cover it in chalk and embrace the variety so easily found in climbing.
