This edition is only available in Italian.

A good training system is not tested by the results of a few talented professionals, but by the growth trend of the majority of “normal” trained subjects. For this reason, in recent years Jolly has dedicated and specialized in the study and experimentation of training designed for normal “amateurs” who started the sport as adults, multitasking businessmen, ladies with vertigo, lawyers and accountants on their lunch break. People who work, who have family or study commitments, little time to train and even less to climb. Among Jolly’s students, 7b has become the norm, housewives send their first 7c, the pensioner, who has more time available, reaches his first 8a: with Jolly the average grade of the less predisposed has moved forward, and this indicates that the system is working. This manual, now in its third edition and completely renewed compared to previous editions, is the fruit of this method whose strong point is its concreteness. Not only does it provide the basis for understanding the physiological processes of the body during climbing, but it is also a practical tool for training strength, resistance and technique.

Alessandro Jolly Lamberti Bocconi, mountain guide, coach, writer and blogger. He lives in Rome, but as soon as he can he travels the world in search of new walls. He was the first Italian to climb two 9a routes. In addition to the peak he reached, what makes his career incredible is above all the continuity of his performances over the years: he climbed his first 8b in 1986 and his last 8b+ a few days ago. Spending almost 35 years traveling around the 8c grade is the prerogative of very few climbers in the world. This demonstrates the quality of his training method, perfected in 30 years of studies and experiments on his numerous students. He publishes his articles and stories on www.climbook.com
