Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports DUANE RALEIGH Knots & Ropes for Climbers:
This book is a great guide for people newly introduced to mountaineering, or for someone perhaps teaching the craft. Illustrations are remarkably easy to follow and knots are not over emphasized to the point of boredom. High points are hit, and checkpoints are highlighted to ensure success. Anything by these guys is easy and a good read.
