Alpine climbing : techniques to take you higher
"Although technical protective systems are often necessary, in the final analysis they are not what keep us safe, say longtime certified guides and climbing instructors Mark Houston and Kathy Cosley. Mastery lies in the far more difficult task of choosing the right technique for the right purpose at the right time." "Illustrated with more than 150 photos, Alpine Climbing will teach you how to move quickly and efficiently over rock, snow, ice, and glaciers. More importantly, with Houston and Cosley to guide you, you'll learn to make timely decisions in a complex environment."--Jacket
