5.0 out of 5 stars Slim, no nonsense guide, 22 April 2007
By Mr. Harry W. Bach (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fantastic little book packed with all the information required to safety embark on your first alpine peak. The contents are divided into somewhat arbitrary headings, sorted into alphabetical order, but will tell you where to go, what to take up the mountain, and very importantly, good easy to follow rule of thumb information about the ropework required to cross glaciers and climb the peaks. Informative and inspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars More useful than books ten times its size., 26 Oct 2008
By C. Banham (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great intro to Alpine techniques. It is well written, and instuctions/illustrations are clear -- despite being in black and white. Since reading this book, I have changed some of my techniques, because his ones are easier/quicker/more appropriate.
