Best books to learn Bouldering & sport climbing, in order
Climbing beginners over-rely on strength, so read movement and safety before training hard. Start with footwork, body position, and the safety systems, then movement technique and reading a route, then targeted strength and the mental game. Learn to climb with your legs and trust your feet first; the fingerboard and the send come later, once good movement means you're not just muscling every hold.
