Throughout the dictionary, Mike Tea's illustrations both technical and humorous help explain hardertodefine terms such as piton, sling, cam, hand jam, or dropknee.Sure to become the reference or even the sicktionary for novice climbers and expert mountaineers alike.Are you obsessed with 'climbingese'?
