Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills by The Mountaineers

The absolute bible, so i am told. To own a set of all the editions is the ultimate aim, but it could be quite an expensive quest.
So why is this book so valued by climbers the world over? It has clear, sensible, usuable advice. Of course.

Mountaineering, the freedom of the hills by The Mountaineers

This is the bible of mountaineering. It details the techniques you need to make it up and get back down. If you can't do everything in this book, you should not be on a big mountain.
