Performance Rock Climbing
| Technique. Strength, with the calm to use no more than required. Courage, with the prudence to hold back.
The balance rock climbing requires mirrors what we face in other spheres where we juggle competing factors that determine our results. Climbing's beauty is its blunt feedback on our skill managing these factors. I wrote Performance Rock Climbing with German friend and sports scientist Udo Neumann in 1991 to satisfy our curiosity about how you prioritize these contributions to maximize climbing ability. The results included new climbing milestones for each of us, a fantastic response from fellow climbers, and 65,000+ English, German, Japanese, and Polish copies sold. "I believe Performance Rock Climbing is the best and most authoritative work on climbing ever written. It has had a profound effect on my climbing, and I try to use it frequently to help my climbing as I age."
