Book Review: The Second Book you Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
The first book you buy when learning to climb is Mountaineering: the Freedom of the Hills. Then you decide to climb something with glaciers. Sure, everything you need to know is probably in Freedom of the Hills but do you really want to bring the entire encyclopedia along with you? And, when you the rope lead are hanging in a crevasse, do you really want the second who didn't listen during your skills prep hike to be thumbing through 800 pages to find out how to make a Z-pulley? That's where Glacier Travel and Crevasse Rescue comes in.
This is a book you can study at the beginning of the season to review the key skills you only need about once every 10 life times. It's short, well illustrated, and gives you just what you need to know in a way that you can learn and remember it. All the glacier stuff is nice but the best part is how to tie into the rope with your rescue gear and how that silly Texas Prusik is supposed to work. And, when you do have the skills training hike two months before the big Rainier climb, bring this one along and make your second learn how to set up a Z-pulley.
