Stock No. CTU261Geology is the fundamental control on the sport of rock climbing, and yet there are no practical geology guides for the climber interested in rocks. This book fills the niche. With an informal Q&A format and fun, informative language, it brings the often esoteric science of geology into the hands of climbers. Covering topics from how to use a geologic map to finding new crags, from why Europe has the best limestone to how El Capitan's North America Wall got its name, this book has a fact for every climber's ponderings. Top-quality photos of worldwide destinations and easy-to-read artist's renderings of geologic concepts make it as visually engaging as it is entertaining and edifying
