## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great read and big help with climbing
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2012*

I am not quite finished the book but already it has helped me a ton. A lot of the things seem common sense but having them put in words helped me realize the importance and see what I was doing wrong clearly. The examples are great and its super easy to follow. There are also some more technical aspects that have helped me improve. I wouldn't have known them and now I do. This book is helping me understand some things better and is building up my confidence more. I'm using a lot of the information and seeing improvement. It is gradual and slow as he points out but it is there. Some things are also quickly improving. The way he writes is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

    A fresh and insightful perspective
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2011*

All climbers can relate to feeling like the cartoon on the cover of this book: the frustrated gorilla. We have logged countless pitches on the rock, cranked endless sets of pullups and repeaters on the fingerboard, watched videos and read training manuals until the cows came home. And yet we still failed on our project. Why? 9 out of 10 climbers attempts to answer that very question. This book is written in precisely the opposite manner as other books on the topic of how to improve in climbing. Instead of giving options on how to improve, Dave offers insight into the pitfalls that commonly cause people to plateau in ability, and how to pass these plateaus. For example, a common thought among climbers is that if we were only a bit stronger we could overcome this route or boulder. In reality, flaws in our mindset or technical ability are more likely the cause of failure. Thus, time would be better spent working on these aspects of our climbing then simply cranking out another set of pullups or repeaters on the fingerboard.This is a top notch book written from a refreshing new perspective which will be useful to anyone looking to improve in their rock climbing ability.

    I had to grow into this book
  

*by K***I on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018*

I first read “9 out of 10” in 2013 when I’d only been climbing a couple years.  In 2013, the book seemed verbose and not too helpful. It just didn’t click then.I just read it again after 5 more years of climbing.  In those 5 years, my improvements from “just climbing” plateaued.  I’d flirted half-heartedly with the various training programs.  In the last year I seriously began to ponder what I wanted my climbing to be, and how I wanted to organize my life for the long run to best incorporate climbing at a high level.On this second reading, nearly every paragraph resonated.  The old sleep inducing tome had transformed into a page turner.  The insights stuck because, unlike in 2013, I’d now survived some of the battles Dave writes about.  More important than just stating training tips, Dave lays out the approaches to a climbing life.  And while I’d already pondered many aspects of this life, due to uncertainly and lack of direction, I previously had been afraid to fully embrace the patient, structured life and training philosophy Dave articulates.As for the reviews which complain this book doesn't teach technique like body position, etc., no...this isn't that kind of book.  If you have climbed only a year or so, this book might not click for you either.  Not yet.Thank you Dave for the great book and, more recently, the great YouTube videos.  While I feel like I’d been slowly stumbling vaguely in the right direction, you handed me the detailed map I didn’t fully realize, until now, I needed.
