## Description

For those who would like to climb mountains, and for those who merely like to contemplate the possibility, Ruth and John Mendenhall have written as entertaining and completely instructive a book as has ever been tucked into a rucksack. The Mendenhalls first advise neophytes on where to find proper instruction, how much will be expected of them as beginners, and what to bring on early climbs. Explicit, authoritative information on what climbers really do on diverse terrain introduces the proper use of rope, belaying the climber below and the leader above, learning to lead, and using pitons in rock or ice. In this step-by-step progression the beginner is introduced to rappels, how to choose sound rappel points, and how to set safe rappels. Details on the functions of ice axe and crampons, and the complex conditions encountered on glaciers, arm the progressing climber with further basic information that builds mountaineering skill. The new climber is then taken through the selection of a peak, the routes, the choice of a group, what to take, what to be alert for, and how to handle emergencies. This uniquely complete coverage advances from beginning through intermediate climbing, and includes discussions of advanced and controversial techniques that the less experienced will be curious about. Through it all comes an awareness of what mountaineering really is…the high spirits, good humor, pleasures, and philosophies of those who climb.
