Mountaineering Literature is a must for those looking to expand their horizons and climb new peaks. Top climbers many times have a depth of Mountain literature that enables them to tap into that mind space when in the mountains.
Freedom of The Hills is our first book to review since we believe to be the number 1 must read mountaineering book. First published in 1960, we have the 5th edition 1992. Even though it has passed over 50 years since its first edition, Freedom of the Hills continues to be incredible relevant for today’s aspiring, intermediate and advanced climbers.
The book is divided into 4 parts:
- Part one: Approaching the Peaks
- Part two: Climbing Fundamentals
- Part three: Rock Climbing
- Part four: Snow and Ice Climbing
- Appendices: Cycle of Snow, Rating Systems, Lighting, Supplementary Reading.
We feel that anyone acquiring this book will never regret.
