This is a highly comprehensive book that covers climbing techniques, training, injury prevention, and tactics. Personally, I would have preferred the author to delve deeper into the technique chapters, while being more concise in the training and tactic chapters. However, this is probably because I am new to climbing and have not yet begun my training. Martin Mobråten has a master’s degree in civil engineering, has climbed for over 20 years, been an athlete on the Norwegian national team and is a former Nordic champion in climbing. He has climbed extensively outdoors and has redpointed several routes graded F8c+ and boulder problems up to Font 8c. Martin has coached the Norwegian Climbing Federation’s youth recruits and many of the stronger juniors in the Trondheim community for the past ten years. Martin works daily with climbing courses, route setting and facilitating climbing both indoors and outdoors. The physical training includes plenty of exercises that can be done at home with minimal equipment – surprisingly useful this year! I manage to injure myself fairly regularly climbing and haven’t really known where to start with conditioning and injury prevention exercises, but the section on this is really clear and has given me several things to start trying that I can do at home. Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will cross over to the men and reveal ourselves to them. If they say to us, ‘Wait until we come to you’; then we will stand in our place and not go up to them. But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’ then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands; and this shall be the sign to us.” read more.

Why are we still in love with this sport? What have we done right and wrong in our own careers, and what have we done right and wrong while coaching others? Why do some people turn to sport and competition climbing where others go in other directions of the sport? And, most importantly; why do some people never stop climbing?

When we wrote the book with the humble title The Climbing Bible, our editor claimed it mandatory to include ‘The Ten Commandments of Climbing’. Obviously, these are neither religiously binding nor absolutes, but what might have started out as a bit of a laugh actually turned out to be a good exercise to reflect what we saw as key elements to progress as climbers. You can read all ten commandments in the book, but we want to elaborate a bit on some of the most fundamental ones here.

A friend of ours once said: “Your technique today is inversely proportional to your strength when you started climbing”. Even us climbers are only human; we tend to favour what we’re good at. The explosion of climbing gyms around the world provides the opportunity to climb a lot on jugs and utilize arm and upper body strength. But what happens when the difficulty increases? The holds become worse, the body positions more strenuous and the movements more complex. We can’t any longer rely solely on our pulling power because the holds and body positions don’t allow us to merely pull harder to succeed. If you are just a climber wanting to perfect your game, or a parent or coach who wants a trusted text to refer to in your child or students learning, Vertebrate publishing's The Climbing Bible: Practical Exercises is a book to live and climb by.

The Climbing Bible: Practical Exercises by Martin Mobraten

As a climber with 25+ years experience, it's all too easy to become complacent and forget about training and technique. Yet I still do! But it is such an integral part of being a climber, in some form we all need training and to do so without input is far more challenging. This comprehensive book covers so much in accessible detail, and best of all with loads of great photos to help visualisation. This might seem obvious, but with climbing evolving more and more into the realm of sport it’s worth highlighting. You can find lots of information on how to train the physical aspects of climbing, but nothing really comes close to climbing a lot on different walls, crags, styles, angles and holds. All of these will present you with their own particular challenges on how to move, weight your feet and position your body. Going to the same gym, on your favourite wall, using your favourite holds and doing your perfectly designed strength program can never give you the same diversity as doing a lot of climbing in different places. And this diversity will build your ability to solve the puzzle which is moving between holds to find the tops you’re looking for. Commandment 3: Train technique before physical training
