Книга представляет собой попытку рассказать о том, что такое скалолазание, и дает краткие биографии ряда известных спортсменов, но читать ее совершенно невозможно как из-за ужасного английского (Гугл-переводчик и то справился бы лучше), так и по причине «скачущей» логики. Настоятельно НЕ рекомендую.
