9This thoroughly revised and updated third edition of Better Bouldering presents all the techniques and tricks gleaned from the forty-plus bouldering career of John Sherman, America's most noted and notorious bouldering guru. Sharing the most recent trends in techniques, equipment, and injury treatment and prevention, Sherman imparts his insider knowledge of the sport through colorful instructional text and "combat" stories from his own bouldering career--allowing both beginning and accomplished boulderers to learn from the author's mistakes rather than their own.
