We stock a wide range of instructional books.
As we're a real climbing shop generally they're not the usual "this is how to tie on" "this is a nut" tomes. We carry the MLTB syllabus books, specialist yoga books, nutrition, mental and physical training, injury prevention/avoidance and big walling books. By and large, they're the books we as staff own and use.
