[Rébecca Mathieu]

Très bien fait. Donne de bonnes méthodes pour éviter de se blesser et mieux s'entraîner.

Probably the best book (and only book?) on climbing injuries out there. Dwells on lots of different injuries, but the depth varies.

[Tom]

Note there are injury pictures that are absolutely gross, but I feel they are at the worst case end of injury spectrum, rather than what a typical injury is like.
Definitely has good descriptions on common climber injuries. The section dealing with prevention has pictures, but actual techniques and practice descriptions are deficient. I had a hard time understanding what the actual training sequences were.
