Written by 34;Britain's only 'stand-up mountaineer',34; this book is chock full of handy, hard-won tips and beautiful photography. The writing and format are easy to read and has dashes of humor which keep the tone from becoming too dry. I knew of a good number of the tips already, but it was good to review them and have them vetted by someone who knows significantly more than I do. :) The only thing I wish for is more diagrams and perhaps some photographs to demonstrate what is being explained in the text. This book just won the Banff Mountain Book Festival Award too!
