For more than thirty-five years and through five editions, Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills has been the "bible" of the climbing world. An essential teaching tool and resource for novice to advanced mountaineers, it is the standard text for climbing courses throughout the United States and abroad. Freedom is the best-selling mountaineering book of all time, with over 500,000 copies sold. Completely updated and revised, the 5th edition reflects the rapid changes in mountaineering that have accompanied its increased popularity, the development of new techniques, and the introduction of new and improved equipment. It redefines the basics with the latest information on climbing and outdoor fundamentals; rock, snow, ice, and alpine climbing; emergency prevention and response; and the mountain environment. There's perhaps no better resource than Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills, -This book is an excellent primer for what would-be climbers are in for. (It's also an excellent reference work for accomplished climbers.) Wilderness & Environmental Medicine Regarded by both novice and veteran climbers as the most comprehensive, definitive text on mountaineering an excellent book for all skill levels. Library Journal This fifth edition of the all-time best mountaineering ''textbook'' is certainly no disappointment. (The last edition was published in 1982.) Some 550 pages and approximately 400 illustrations help make it the most comprehensive book in its class. The writing is clear and the book is organized logically. Chapters deal with clothing, route-finding and navigation, camping, climbing fundamentals (ropes, knots, belaying, rappelling), rock climbing techniques, and snow and ice climbing. There are also appendixes on avalanche, lightning, and rock climb rating systems. This edition includes the latest updates on equipment improvements and a new chapter on expedition climbing. This single book adequately covers a wide range of mountaineering skills, and libraries could easily spend five times as much to get the same coverage. Highly recommended for all libraries.-- Thomas K. Fry, UCLA Libs. Booknews : An essential teaching tool and resource for novice to advanced mountaineers and the standard text for climbing courses in the US and abroad. Completely revised and updated , this 5th edition adds new sections on rock climbing, a new chapter on winter and expedition climbing, and 350 new illustrations. 5th Edition Soft Cover 7-1/2 x 9"
