For climbers who know the basics and are ready to venture higher:
\nThis intermediate-level guide addresses tools, skills, and techniques used in
\nalpine terrain including rock, snow, ice, and glaciers at moderate altitude-
\napproximately 5000 meters (16,000 feet) and lower. The technical protection
\nsystems are covered, of course. But 30 years of alpine climbing experience has
\nconvinced the authors that mastery-and safety-lie in the far more difficult
\ntask of knowing exactly which techniques to use, where and when. Therefore,
\nthey teach step-by-step decision-making skills, providing scenarios,
\nchecklists, and self-posed questions to inform the decision process.
\nAlpine Climbing assumes some prior knowledge, primarily in rock climbing
\nskills and techniques. Basic knots, belaying, rappelling, building rock
\nanchors, leading, placing rock protection, and movement skills on rock:
\nvariations of these skills that are of particular value in the alpine
\nenvironment are addressed in this book.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
