In reply to mrmac: ...I'll endorse all of the above. But she could do with smiling more - climbing IS supposed to be fun, after all!

In reply to moot: It's an excellent book mate. When I did my single pitch award training, it was referred to by several people on the course as 'the bible'. I did a full review of it here: http://rockclimbinguk.co.uk/climbing-book-review-rock-climbing-essential-sk...

She is one of the best UK climbers out there and one of a select few IFMGA qualified guides from British shores. From that, I'd guess her book will be pretty good although I've never read it.

I did share a transfer bus with her once from Genva to Cham which is a reasonable claim to fame.

I run SPA courses.

Before Libbys book came out - I used to lug along a library box with a selection of different instructional books for folk to browse through - now I just recommend Libby - for a first book it is excellent and if you want to progress, then there are more advanced books to follow with.

But yes- buy Libby.
