The Classic Tome November 28, 2006
You will not read this book from cover to cover, but it is a must on every neophyte mountaineers bookshelf. It's the ultimate reference.

A great reference book with almost everything you need to know about surving in the outdoors. Oh yeah, and a lot of neat information on climbing.

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.

 Review of Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills September 15, 2005
12 out of 32 found this review helpful
I am not too impressed with this book. I got it b/c it is supposed to be the mountaineering 'bible'. Not quite.
In general, the book is a decent reference with info about many aspects of mountaineering/climbing/hiking/backpacking, but all the information is very basic and pretty obvious. The book will be helpful to people new to the activities, but I think there are better ways to learn, ie friends, guides, groups, clubs, internet, etc. For people with more experience, you're better off getting a resource that is specific to the activity you're interested in.
