Just the ticket.
As a general guide and advice this book is right on the money, with some nice additional a from others slipped in. I would recommend this to anyone moving into bouldering. There are pictures to help with grips and technical descriptions and they are all up to scratch and clear enough. I also like the paper weight, it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy like some other books.
