Maybe this has been asked before, so I apologyze in advance if this is somehow a repeated question, but in order to search for it (which was my first intention), I need the author (which in this case, I don't know anybody else posting the same question). I would like to be pointed out towards were could I find info on the subject (books, links...anything really)......although it would be easier/faster to have links to web pages, since it's hard for me to get books on climbing. Any help will be VERY appreciated.. Diego M.

Hi, Passthepitonspete has posted about much of Aid climbing. Among his many posts is his Moving Systems post. If your just starting out, this should be among the first you read. As for books, Big Walls by John Long and John Middendorf is good. There are others too. I'm sure that others will add to this. hope this helps from Stefan

Rumour has it that Dr. Piton will shortly be publishing his * INDEX TO DR. PITON STUFF * - stay tuned at an Aid Climbing Forum near you! This will render redundant the many posts which are now springing up and which ask where to find stuff. And finding stuff is a VGT.
