Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is not just for a few highly skilled climbers who have elevated the sport to a high art. This is for those of use who want to get down without bivying, beat a thunderstorm, or get in a raft of pitches in the few pathetic hours we have available. It is a trove of practical information--detailed yet accessible, sprightly and humorous. "
--Alison Osius, Executive Editor, Rock and Ice magazine, author, and former national champion in sport climbing

From the Back Cover

Hans Florine and Bill Wright pried themselves off the rock long enough to update this new edition of Climb On! because, as they say, "The only thing better than climbing is more climbing!" Mixing humor with history, personal experiences, and lots of common sense and good advice, they offer other climbers the tips they've used successfully for moving faster up and down the rock. The techniques, illustrations, and inspirational stories offered in this book will have you climbing more routes more often in no time.

I'm known for being quick on the vertical world. I have a BS in Economics and two minors in Business. It's the Production Operations Management that I love, applying the goal of "smartly speeding up" the following: climbs, customer services, loan closings, sales closings, business processes, diaper changes, travel logistics, writing books, life goals. I say "smartly," because there is no point producing an extra 100 widgets a day if the quality drops. There is no point climbing faster if it causes injury or death. There is no point speeding up a sale if you lose a lifetime customer.
Yes, my first and foremost passion is adventuring out on the vertical world, but I truly love fitting in: projects, business goals, personal goals, even spiritual goals, and adventures into this life we have. Bill Gates has the same wealth of minutes as you and I. Time is your most precious "possession," spend it wisely. "You can always get more money, you can never get more time." - Jom Rohn
I love to share stories on stage as well as in the written word. http://www.hansflorine.com/
