I am not sure how I came across this thing, but for what it claims, it is begging for a review. Has anyone done it yet?

It certainly has a hard sell type of advertising feel about it.
Check out the wording for experienced climbers down the bottom.
In reply to: This ebook presents proven, effective climbing techniques and strategies in such a pragmatic and progressive way that you can't help but become much better by reading it! In fact, the more climbing problems you currently have, the more these secrets will radically improve your skills for the next time you climb. In just minutes, your inconsistencies will vanish. By the next time you climb, prepare to be stunned. In fact, your improvement is guaranteed!
Come on, there is no way I would ever buy a book or pay for anything with that sort of wording in the advertising. It smells like spam to me too. Way too over the top to be taken seriously.

I felt like I was being lured into a site to enlarge certain parts of my body, or to lose weight, or a get rich quick scheme.

5 tips to improve your mental state
3 things to know about buying your helmet
4 "intermediate" jams
5 tips for buying a rope
........
Man, just reading this assault is exhausting!
In reply to: There's more great material in here than I've ever read in any other ebook. Stuff that I wish I would have known when I first started climbing - it would have saved me so much time and effort! That's what I want to do for you. I want to help you catapult your climbing skills from whatever level they are at to the next level without all the wasted time and frustration that comes with the trial and error of trying to improve your skills on your own.
Sheeezz... :roll:
That´s gotta be some sort of joke, it´s like the oldest line in the book.
I wish I´d known that when I´d first started: dating/body building/surfing/having sex with women (omg!)/.....

Me and my chums used to be some pitiful climbers. On "strong days" we top roped 5.3 slabs with telephone cord, and belayed though a key ring clipped off on our belt lopes. I spent my rest days hanging out at nursing homes, smoking crack and trying to get laid. I was fat, ugly, and dangerously close to suicidal depression.
Then one day I met Rick Philips, and he told me about his amazing new book.
I was just like you when I heard about it: skeptical, cynical… maybe a little afraid. But he convinced me to give it a try...with a 30 day free trial and a money back guarantee, how could I refuse?
After read “Rock Climbing Essentials”, I'm now a solid 5.16d climber, warm up on V14’s, and have sent The Nose in under 19 minutes. I spend my spare time designing cams for Metolius, coaching David Graham, and holding super model orgies.
“Rock Climbing Essentials” changed my life...and it can change yours too.
