REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Rock Climbing Anchors - A Comprehensive Guide:

Possibly the best book on the subject I've read yet. I just re-read three other books on climbing anchors so that's high praise. I'll definitely be reading this one again soon, and I've dog-eared many pages for quick reference. Craig Luebben's prose may not always be as entertaining as John Long's, but his engineering background and technical detail make up for it. The photos and diagrams are excellent and clear. The explanations are straightforward with both logical and technical justifications. It's also good to see newer gear addressed, including cams and slings that have come on the market since I started climbing.
