The Mountain Pocket Book [ISBN: 1-871890 78 0]

The Mountain Pocket Book is a veritable mine of information dealing with almost every aspect of hillwalking and mountaineering techniques in the British Isles.  

Sound technique is important and tables and weather reports have their place but at the end of the day the qualities with make the finest mountaineers are human ones; imagination, adaptability, good judgement and a liberal dose of common sense. These can not be acquired by reading , but reading can inspire participation, heighten appreciation and guide the progress in the acquisition of these skills.

This book helps fulfil this, particularly for those who already have some experience of hillwalking.
