If there were only one single guide for both beginners and experts, it would be this one. Indeed, "Mountaineering" is clearly the manual for the mountains and climbing, having influenced nearly every climber. Since the release of its first edition in 1960, "Mountaineering" has become a worldwide classic of mountain sports literature. In its current ninth edition, it is packed with knowledge and experience from over 50 years. This comprehensive manual, spanning over 600 pages, offers proven guidance for climbing on rock, snow, ice, mixed terrain, and big walls. It covers everything you need for the mountains: from basic equipment and knot techniques to Leave-No-Trace principles, environmental protection, and advanced techniques for belaying and anchoring, assessing avalanches, and developing guiding skills.
