Summary: This book is a comprehensive illustrated guide to modern North American mountaineering methods. It contains valuable information for both the beginning and advanced climber. Beginning with introductory comments on the ethics and aesthetics of mountain climbing, the book discusses various aspects of mountaineering - scrambling on rock and snow, free climbing on rock, snow climbing, ice climbing, and direct aid climbing - and illustrates all the skills which are basic to the sport, including self-arrest, belaying rappelling, leading, and route-finding. It explains the necessary tools and equipment, and describes practice routines which will improve a climber's skills. Concentrating on small expeditions and giving special reference to matters of safety, the book provides important information about clothing, food, survival equipment, mountain geology, and weather. There are also sections on special techniques, such as self-rescue and the use of mechanical ascenders, and the final chapter is devoted to first aid and emergency measures. 1 Kg.
