Climbers seem to be constantly looking for ways to improve quickly. Some pay coaches in the hope that this will automatically make them better, or buy online programs with the idea that they can reach higher grades. Similarly, these climbers are happy to buy boards – and even hang them in their homes – before realizing that designing and executing a training plan takes effort, and the benefits of owning a board are very limited if you don’t use it properly. However, some climbers are genuinely interested in improving, but struggle to understand how they should go about it, or even where to start.
The idea behind this book is to provide enough information to allow you to identify and understand the factors to train and help you in the most effective methodologies to train them, without using too much data and technicality. The author's work is completed by the advice of 8 great champions: Alex Puccio, Adam Ondra, Jerry Moffatt, Melissa Le Nevè, Tomoa Narasaky, Alex Megos, Alex Honnold, Shauna Coxey. Sold out after a few weeks in the UK, Beastmaking is now published in 17 editions in different languages, and has become the best-selling training book in German-speaking countries.

Ned Feehally is one of the main explorers of the Peak District and the most representative boulderers in the UK. With the ascent of Trust Issues in Rocklands, he is one of the very few to have an 8B+ flash in his curriculum. He is married to the very strong Shauna Coxsey, and shares with her the passion for dry training.
