FEATURED BOOK
Climbing Rules & Ethics has been in the making since the 1st International Sport Climbing Championship in Snowbird, Utah, (1988) when Dan Goodwin was the color commentator for CBS Sports. With sport climbing and bouldering now in the Olympics, climbing has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. Due to this popularity, the need for our community to be on the same page has never been greater.

ABOUT
DAN GOODWIN also known as SpiderDan, is a renowned American climber who is best known for his numerous building ascents, such as the World Trade Center, the John Hancock Center, and the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, where he established a Guiness Book of World Record by free soloing both sides without a rope.
These feats not only made Goodwin a household name, but a legend in his climbing community. His status became etched in the hall of fame when he free soloed Mickey's Beach Crack 5.12b for National TV, and served as the color commentator for CBS Sports at the First International Sport Climbing Championship at Snowbird, Utah.
Goodwin knew climbing would eventually be in the Olympics, he just didn't think it would take 30+ years. With over 1,000 participants signing up to climb for first time, Goodwin believes there has never been a more important period in our sport's history to educate and unite our community with a common set of rules and ethics that can be debated for years to come.
