Learn Anchors

This book is actually much more useful than 'Climbing Anchors'. It has pictures of numerous real life anchor setups and their pros and cons, while 'Climbing Anchors' is pretty much just very basic anchor info without too much in depth detail. That basic stuff is much better illustrated in other guidebooks, and quickly learned with some practice, so I would say just get this book instead of both or the first one only.

So, you think you know anchors...

This book will help make you an expert in building safe, sophisticated multi-point anchors. The relative meirts of the various methods of equalizing anchors -- rope, cordelette, and sliding X -- are discussed in depth. The authors take the position that there is no such thing as a perfect anchor, and present detailed analyses, with photographs, of the pros and cons of 52 anchors. Whether you are a beginning or an advanced climber, you will find yourself reading and re-reading this text, learning something new each time.

Not much more info.

Not much more info than available in "Climbing Anchors," by John Long. Mainly more pictures of various anchors. If you have a basic understanding of anchors, you can get away with not having this book.
