Essential for climbers August 20, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Every climber alive should read "Accidents" every year, because it's the best way to learn what you should not do. (For all other climbers, it's too late.) It also makes you aware how easy it is for one tiny slip to become dangerous or fatal, and when those slips are most likely to happen. Besides, it satisfies the morbid curiosity most of us have about other people's accidents at the same time that it serves an educational purpose. Whats not to love about a book like that?
