It is a beautiful book, with a clear layout and some great anecdotes throughout.

'This will form the backbone of your climbing and training life. In times of struggle and disillusion you'll be able to read back on a new mental cue. When you've tapped out you fingerboard adaptation, there's another protocol. When you're looking for a new technique drill to up your slab climbing game, it's there. You used to have to buy all the training books in the climbing store, now you just need one!' - Tom O'Halloran, Vertical Life
