Review: a good start, but hire a guide or get some otherwise pro' training - A great book that addresses a lot of mountaineering topics. Good for getting into climbing, glacier travel, etc. BUT it's a step up from all the 'experts' on the interwebs - youtube/insta/... There are plenty of people doing waaaay sketchy stuff online and in the wild...plenty of people taking on unnecessary risk and dying and getting injured. Just read the reports. This is an excellent book and I've used it in training both as an instructor and student, BUT you really should not overlook the need for qualified mentorship!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ highly recommend
*by O***A on July 24, 2025*

excellent book, good for beginners and mature mountains lovers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reference for new and experienced climbers
*by T***S on February 21, 2023*

While a lot experienced climbers will already know most of the information in this book it's still a great reference for different systems and protocols. It's also a hell of a lot more trustworthy than some guy on YouTube. Speaking of which if you're new to climbing don't use YouTube as your only source of information. Learn from a qualified instructor and if you feel like doing some studying on your own get this book. After reading a chapter in this book I'd recommend going over everything you've learned and practicing the different systems before you have to trust your life to them when out climbing.
