I am reading the book, Mountaineering - The Freedom of the Hills, to pick up more background information on all things related to Mountaineering (hiking, climbing, backpacking, etc.). I am about 1/3 of the way through so I hesitate to give it a complete thumbs up, but so far I really like it. It is more of a reference book than a straight-through read, but it answers so many questions and is well written.

Coverage includes:

  • Clothing & Equipment
  • Camping and Food
  • Wilderness Travel
  • Alpine Ice Climbing
  • Navigation
  • Rock Climbing Fundamentals
  • Leading (Rock Climbing)
  • Safety
  • First Aid
  • Mountain Weather
  • …Lots More




    • I will post again with more information on this book.
