4.0 out of 5 stars At last a replacement to Eric Langmuir's "Mountain Leadershi, 10 Mar 2003
At last a replacement to Eric Langmuir's "Mountain Leadership. Any one who uses the mountains in the UK or leads groups in the mountains needs to have read this book. It tailors very neatly with the Mountain Leaders Award syllabus, making it vital to any one doing there Mountain Leaders Award, BELA or WGA.

It does not assume you’re a mountaineering guru nor is it to basic and patronising.

All mountain users should be equipped with the knowledge to minimise perceived and real risk as well as deal with the resulting problems of travelling in a mountainous environment, and this book contains all the basic information you will need. It is easily and clearly explained in simpler format than previous books and the navigation rivals Peter Cliffes “Mountain Navigation”, for its ease of understanding.

If you use the UK mountains; use this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mountain Skills Book, 4 Mar 2008
By Mr. A. Heinzl "Andreas Heinzl" (Inverness, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is just the book to have if you are into hillwalking in the UK hills. The good old Langmuir book was just a little too long winded and complex and never managed to get anything out of.

However the Mountain Leader book or the green book has been my bible when preparing for my Mountain Leader. Whenever I forgot something from my training I just pulled this book out from my shelf and looked it up.

I advise anyone interested in hillwalking to consider buying the Mountain Leader Handbook.
