came across this on the net
www.howtoclimbthreegradesharder.com
cant vouch for the quality of the book but i found the website highly amusing, bit like a american infomercial but worse.

Good find Woody!
This made me laugh...

"I already climb V15, F9a+, 5.15a. Will this help me?

No! Come on, by now, you must know most of this stuff… Well maybe I can give even you the odd tip, here and there. (For instance, I can think of two things which I've never seen any climber – even world class ones – do properly.) But honestly, you're doing just fine as you are. This isn't for you. It's for normal climbers, with limited time, who just want the easiest way to get better fast."

looks pretty wack.

The VS climber who wants to lead E1?

The E1 climber who wants to lead E3?


I question the value of a book entitled "how to climb 3 grades harder" when the author clearly doesn't understand the E1 is only 2 grades harder than VS, that E3 is only 2 grades harder than E1 etc etc.

Even if his book does do what it say its still false advertising....it really should be entitled "how to climb 2 grades harder". :roll:

That website made me hit the delete button before I even read any of it - I hate stuff like that.
