Alpine Guides' Technical Manual is a distillation of state of the art mountaineering practice. Topics are presented in a stripped-down manner, to emphasise key techniques often difficult to grasp and learn quickly. It is an excellent resource for those learning the basics, and a handy reference for experienced alpinists. Diagrams, illustrations and photos are abundant throughout.
