5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 25 Nov 2005

By	TIm Mckeown - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills (Paperback)

I bought this book before going on a mountaineering course in India . Simply everything is covered in this book in fantastic detail from the correct clothing, to building snow shelters and expedition planning. This should be your first and last purchase for anyone loooking for a book which encompasses the theory and practical aspects of mountaineering.

5.0 out of 5 stars The standard text on mountain climbing summer and winter, 18 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills (Paperback)

This is THE comprehensive text on mounting climbing both summer and winter. It does not cover all aspects in depth, but as a reference and an introduction to mountain climbing (as opposed to rock climbing at your local crag) it has few equals. If I would recommend only one book on allround climbing it would be this. This edition feels more up-to-date on modern techniques and equipment than the previous, even if there are only a few years between them. Drawbacks? Yes, it can feel a lot like hearing a middle grade school teacher when reading the chapters, the tone is very lecturing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good all round textbook, 13 Mar 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills (Paperback)

This book covers everything. It will not tell you how to climb mountains if you have never done it before, if you have, you will find a massive amount of information covering everything you have have ever had to think about on the hills.
