3.0

I had a hard time rating this one.

I absolutely love rope climbing and definitely enjoy bouldering. I've been doing both long enough and at a high enough level that I get what Francis Sanzaro talks about in this book when talking about movement and joy and expression of the body.

I started this book over the summer and just started reading straight through. I got burned out. I had to put it down. Then I would pick it up occasionally and read another chapter. Each chapter stands on its own so I don't think anything was lost doing it this way.

I had to put it down because it was repetitive. Reading it a chapter at a time helped alleviate this.

Even within a chapter, I greatly enjoyed some paragraphs and did not enjoy others.

This book has given me ideas to think about but it also made me realize that I don't think I care about the philosophy of sports.
