About the Author
David Flanagan is a climber, cyclist, writer and freelance journalist from Dublin, Ireland.
He has been climbing for nearly 20 years, focusing mostly on exploring and developing new bouldering problems and areas across Ireland. From the early days of his climbing career he kept notes and drew topos and maps of his discoveries, eventually documenting them on his website, theshortspan.com. In 2010 he was made redundant from his boring software engineering job and decided that the time was right to publish a proper guide to Bouldering in Ireland. And just over a year later he self-published his first book, Bouldering in Ireland.
He formed Three Rock Books and in late September of 2013 he published his second book Bouldering Essentials. Since then he has published a guide to the best of Irish rock climbing, Rock Climbing in Ireland, and a guide to Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, Exploring Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.
He has just released (May 2018) Cycling in Ireland, a guide to the best of Irish cycling.

"If you are in your early stages of climbing or know someone who is keen to learn more about this sport then i couldn't recommend this book enough."
Dan Varian, UK Climbing
"I can't recommend this book enough for the boulderer starting out on the whole adventure - I wish I'd had it twenty years ago."

"The obvious effort spent on perfecting the visual appeal of Bouldering Essentials has paid off....The array of world class photos is one of the book's great strengths."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the last few decades bouldering has evolved from a means of training for 'real' climbing to one of the most popular rock climbing disciplines in its own right. Initially many climbers are drawn to bouldering's simplicity but as they become more deeply involved they discover a complex pursuit, part dance, part martial art in which strategy, creativity and problem solving are just as important as strength. Bouldering Essentials is packed with clear, practical advice for anyone interested in bouldering whether a complete beginner looking to learn the basics, an indoor climber keen to start bouldering outdoors or an experienced boulderer who wants to explore more advanced topics such as dynamics, strategy, tactics and highballing. Chapters include: The Basics; Equipment; Staying Safe; Movement; Dynamics; Indoors; Starting Outdoors; Strategy; Training; and Destinations. Illustrated with over 200 stunning colour photos from the best bouldering areas in the world, including Bishop, Castle Hill, Fontainebleau, Hueco Tanks and Rocklands, Bouldering Essentials provides the inspiration as well as the information you need to reach your full potential as a boulderer. Suitable for anyone interested in bouldering whether a complete beginner looking to learn the basics, an indoor climber keen to start bouldering outdoors or an experienced boulderer who wants to explore more advanced topics, this book includes chapters on: The Basics; Equipment; Staying Safe; Movement; Dynamics; Indoors; and Destinations.
