Art and Science of Bouldering - Udo Neuman

Udo Neuman, a climbing and training fanatic who has been on the forefront since 1992 when he published Performance Rock Climbing, has done it again with - The Art and Science of Bouldering. It is an interactive e-book on 237 pages where he shares his bouldering philosophy and his latest advanced training tips and terminology. Buy it here for Euro 26. Udo is the trainer of the Germans Jan Hojer and Jule Wurm, two of the very best boulderers in the world both on rock and in competitions. In his advanced book you can start reading anywhere getting some interesting thoughts on ethics, grading and of course training and 8a is mentioned several times. "Since 15 years 8a.nu has established itself as THE internet platform for all things climbing and bouldering. Ideas and concepts, especially if it comes to "Evaluating climbing performance" are discussed controversially here - and that is a good thing in my "book"!
