5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reference for the winter mountaineer, 15 May 2008
By G. Milton (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is fantastic and i would highly recomend it to anyone going back into the hills after a long summer. It is very easy to forget the nessessary skills to walk in the mountains safely but this book explains each one with clear pictures and text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for Winter Mountain Leaders, 15 Mar 2008
By Mr. A. Heinzl "Andreas Heinzl" (Inverness, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best book you can get for becoming a winter mountain leader. Well, it's also good for people who just want to learn about winter mountain skills too.
There are all the necessary skills for winter navigation, building shelter, and climbing in winter. Best winter mountain skills book I have seen yet
