Climbing: Expedition Planning

Rating:
Summary: From Erebus to Everest, this is your book!
Review: At first glance, this appears to be a how-to manual for expeditions to Himalayan peaks. It is that -- you could climb any of the 8,000 meter peaks with the information presented here -- but it's really much more. This is a guide for planning and executing literally any type of expedition: from kayaking in Chile, to big wall climbing in Greenland. There are so many tips, ticks and hints here that it will save you much time and grief. Much of this information hasn't been presented anywhere else that I've seen...wish I'd read it before my last trip. This would be a good book for anyone thinking about joining an expedition and essential if you are planning one!
