Another niche book that will probably appeal to 0.0001% of climbers - but was fun to write anyway!

Everthing you ever wanted to know about hooks, hooking or bits of gear that don’t hook, but have hook in the tiltle. This mini instruction book cover all sky hook types, how to use them, modify them, and employ them to daring ends.
