Book Reviews of Glacier Travel & Crevasse Rescue: Reading Glaciers, Team Travel, Crevasse Rescue Techniques, Routefinding, Expedition Skills 2nd Edition

Book Review: Great for my reference collection.
Summary: 3 Stars

As with many of these types of books, you read the whole thing, but only take away 'tid bits' of information.

Those 'tid bits' are worth it, however thre rest of the book's information can be found in "Freedom of the Hills".

Easy to read, covers essential knowledge for Glacier travel and rescue.
