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. This is possibly the most comprehensive and insightful book you will read on suffering and the motivation behind it. It explores the characters and their lives in raw details, it leaves you with an appreciation for their contribution to winter mountaineering.

The Climbing Bible by Martin Mobråten, Stian Christophersen

Technique, training programs, types of routes and it looks perfect to place in the living-room and start conversations. 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.

The Climbing Bible by Martin Mobråten | Goodreads

Featuring over 200 photos, the Climbing Bible boasts insights from the authors' Martin Mobråten Stian and Christophersen Bjørn Sætnan and other top-flight climbers, alongside a section for children and young crushers. More and more people around the world are discovering how great climbing is, both indoors and outdoors. The Climbing Bible by internationally renowned climbers and coaches Martin Mobråten and Stian Christophersen is a comprehensive guide to help you train effectively to become a better climber. As befits its title of The Climbing Bible, it ends with Ten Commandments, and none of them are “Don’ts”. The authors, Martin Mobråten and Stian Christophersen, both climb and coach at very high standards of difficulty (8c+ and 8c for those who are in the know). Christophersen is also a physiotherapist and coaches the Norwegian climbing team. The book covers Technical, Physical and Mental training, with three additional chapters on Tactics, General training and injury prevention, and finally, training plans. It is richly comprehensive, and their experience in coaching shines through each section. Interviews with leading climbers - entitled A Climber’s Story - expand on particular themes and give fascinating insights – who would have thought that you could write a PhD on using deadhangs for finger strength training? (p.114). The illustrations are excellent throughout and there is an even balance between indoor and outdoor settings. The presentation looks great, but I am in the dark on its content. The book seems relatively beginner oriented, and I was wondering how it compares to e.g. 9 out of 10 and other books.The authors, as well as being strong climbers themselves, are both coaches at an international level, with a deep and long-gathered knowledge of the best training methods. Due to their 20 years of experience and research, the Climbing Bible: Practical Exercises is an extensive exercise library, and now it's all available to you.
