Product Description

The Climbing Dictionary runs the gamut from technical terms (belay harness rappel Stopper) to slang (dab choking the cobra Gaston old dad pimpy) to regional (such as the Southwest's baby-butt slopers ) antiquated (Goldline press-up ) and foreign terms that have achieved universal usage (a cheval colonnette) and much more. Each word's definition includes its part of speech origin (if known) its meaning and a humorous but factually sound example sentence to demonstrate usage. Throughout the dictionary Mike Tea's illustrations both technical and humorous help explain harder-to-define terms such as piton sling cam hand jam or drop-knee.
