Mountaineering The Freedom of the Hills

Since publication of the first edition in 1961, Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills has endured as the classic mountaineering text. Novice climbers use it as a primer; veterans use it to review their skills. Translated into five languages, it has instructed and inspired more than half a million climbers from all over the world. The fully updated seventh edition maintains the same high standard for complete, authoritative instruction in an easy-to-use format. The more than thirty contributors to Freedom 7 are all active climbers who regularly use and teach the skills about which they write.Cox, Steven M. is the author of 'Mountaineering The Freedom of the Hills', published 2003 under ISBN 9780898868272 and ISBN 0898868270.
