The Quintessential Guide Revered By Mountaineers Around The World
Mountaineering, The Freedom of the Hills, The Mountaineers, 9th ed., 2017
90% or more of the information that I’ll provide on this blog comes from my own outdoor experience and training gained over many years. However, Mountaineering, The Freedom of the Hills is my go-to book when brushing up on my outdoor, climbing, and mountaineering skills. It is the climbing bible of mountaineers around the world.
The beauty of this publication is that it is not just for mountaineers. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn the basics which are fundamental to all outdoor adventure activities. These foundational skills are covered in Part I: Outdoor Fundamentals.
- First Steps
- Clothing and Equipment
- Camping, Food, and Water
- Physical Conditioning
- Navigation
- Wilderness Travel
- Leave No Trace
- Access and Stewardship
Over time, I will cover all of these topics both broadly, and in-depth in my own words, drawn from my personal experiences.
Mountaineering is a fantastic resource. I encourage you to grab your own copy and start learning today!
