Review:
'As close to the Bible as mountaineering-specific books get, this new printing (8th edition) of the classic guide to mountaineering from Quiller Publishing Ltd covers just about everything you'll ever need to know in as authoritative a manner as you'll ever need. It is truly comprehensive, and not just for the hard stuff.'
