Climbing isn’t just about strength. It’s a science of balance, endurance and mind over matter. As a climber, you rely on biomechanics, using your body’s natural movements to conserve energy and maximize strength. You’re making precise calculations to bend your body in ways you didn’t know were humanly possible…or comfortable. Every muscle plays a role – core stability, grip strength and leg power are all vital for you to reach the top. That’s climbing, and this is Your Body On Sport.

The best seller used by outdoor programs across the country as a resource and textbook.
