 Best Book on Knots November 6, 2006

I've read knot books by other authors and this is definitely the "BEST." I highly recommend this book!!!!!!!!!! It is well organized and easy to follow. All relevant knots are discussed with clear, concise, and easy to follow directions. Illustrations are very clear. Appropriate usage situations for each knot are discussed. I've read other books by Craig Luebben (Rock Climbing: Mastering Basic Skills and How to Ice Climb) and those were great as well.

Knots for Climbers has a few benefits. The basic knots are depicted in step by step procedures which is helpful for the beginning climber. Though the book is exhaustive it does give a good description of the "how to" and "why" of each knot that the book covers. Though with buying other books this one seemed very redundant because the basic knots covered in this book are also covered in other books (which contain a slew of other knots that this book doesn't cover).

Excellent book for bringing along to the rock and practicing with friends. brIt is thin enough to fit alongside your guide book in your pack. brIt is concise enough so you don't get lost in lots of reading. brIt covers all the knots I use and a few more.brOf course, you should practice the knots before you go up the rock.

This is a great book. Simple, clear, all the knots you want to know about without random ones that you don't want. It's got good illustrations, which is key with knots, and also has pictures of those knots in use which is helpful. If you want to learn the most important, basic knots - get this book.
indispensible, easy to use, thorough manual! December 8, 2002

I've just aquired this new edition knots for climbers and it is great! The descriptions are clear and easy to follow and the illustrations help to elucidate the procedures. I particularly like how the photos show a given knot in a relevant climbing usage. Other bonuses are: understandable explanations of the different ropes, fall factor, UIAA testing and other usually tough to grasp concepts regarding falls and one's safety gear. Of course the very resonable price doesn't hurt either. This manual, as is also ADVANCED ROCK CLIMBING (Long, Luebben), is a must have, indispensible TOOL for anyone who is serious about being a knowledgeable, safe, and self sufficient climber, rapeller or the like. I will use this in my personal climbing and reccomend it to others as well.
