Читать книгу Ropes in Trees - Philipp Strasser - Страница 4

Special thanks are due to Walter Siebert who provided the Standard Operating Procedures for many elements and performed the final check on this book. His indefatigable pursuit of safety and his will to question everything over and over again – combined with the ability to listen to other people’s arguments and experiences and change his opinion if necessary – are very impressive.

Additionally, I would like to thank:

… Petra Schuster, whose presence gave me inspiration and her beautiful Ennstal house was the perfect location to write this book (and who also took the picture of me …)

… Anita Nemeth, Ursula Schürer, Traude Steurer, Veronika Wassertheurer, Andrea Obereigner, Rainer Kudrna, Andrea Pfeiffer, Barbara Tegtbauer, Sandra Wehowar and Thomas Wielander for their support at building numerous prototype elements

… Gert Schweiger, who owns the best forested land for temporary rope elements and made it available to us,

… Barbara Kleemair, Nora Schütz and Sigi van Bosche, Phillip Rehberger (cover photo) climbing models

… Michael Rehm for proofreading, his suggestions, and “a swift kick in the butt” to get this book eventually published

… Bahman Azarm and his team to get this book ready for the English speaking world

… All those who provided feedback to the first edition (in German) of this book and now made this second edition even more comprehensive, informative, and practical
