Book Reviews of The Mountaineering Handbook: Modern Tools and Techniques That Will Take You to the Top
Book Review: Useful, provokative and funny
Summary: 5 Stars
This book contain lots of useful stuff and the author does a good job in not just listing lots of different options (like another famous book he loves to bash) but actually giving recommedations on what works. The author has very strong opinions about certain things that perhaps are less emotional to others but it adds some flavour to the text. If he were more balanced it would have been a duller read. Especially, read his calculations about forces acting on protection and climbers. Some disturbing news about the first piece of protection! This is good stuff and this is the only book where I have seen it done properly. Well done Craig!
