 Mountaineering Freedom Of the Hills 6th Edition October 9, 1997
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The 5th edition was superb they have this made this one even better. The section on the geology of mountains is extremly helpful. Also the format is a little clearer. This is the Bible on Mountaineering. Highly recommended.
As close to a complete climbing reference as you'll get. December 22, 1996

Mountaineering : The Freedom of the Hills give you a no frills description of everything from how to find the mountains using a
map and compass, to how to rescue your injured partner. Learn about placing your own protection. Find out what you should
consider when buying climbing equipment. The writing is clear, and the illustrations are simple but effective. This is a must-have
for all climbers.

Certainly this is one of the best references for alpine style mountaineering. It is used in our local college Basic Mountaineering class as the text and answers almost all the questions students have. I have had several editons and I am happy to say that they have updated technique and equipment descriptions in the new edition. While different climbers may have different opinions about how things "should" be done, this book does an excellent job of recommending efficient and safe basic mountaineering techniques. After more years of mountaineering than I care to admit to, I still occasionally find something in this book that I can benefit from.
Certainly a must for people getting in to mountaineering.

Yes, this book can't be missing in anyone's personal library if you are serious when it comes about this kind of sport, it is like the "mountaneering bible", make sure you have more than one.
