Review
We have been running alpine introduction and winter skills courses since 1983 (in the days when the Bossons Glacier near Chamonix, nearly reached the road!). We have relied mainly on tried and tested traditional alpine techniques. Over the years we have refined things if we felt there was an added benefit by “modernising”.
There have been many instructional guides published before but we have not found one that teaches simply and concisely, in line with our own common practices …….. until now. This new guide by Cunningham and Fyffe is excellent. The photos are good and the diagrams are very clear and easy to follow. It is well written and is well worth getting if you are either a beginner to the sport of mountaineering or an experienced campaigner wanting some revision. Recommended!
The book is the official handbook of the Winter Mountain Leader and Mountain Instructor Certificate.
