Book Reviews of Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills

Book Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book before going on a mountaineering course in India . Simply everything is covered in this book in fantastic detail from the correct clothing, to building snow shelters and expedition planning. This should be your first and last purchase for anyone loooking for a book which encompasses the theory and practical aspects of mountaineering.
