Draagun1 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 I like "Mountaineering Freedom of the Hills" talks of many aspects of climbing ,gear ,knots etc. Since it's my first book and new to climbing this is very good to me. I may skimmed through the one by Chapp Dass as it seems familiar. Quote

Draagun1 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 This is not really a climbers only book but was required reading when growing up in the lowlands.Since there are many bottom dwellers here thought it could be a good read.The two that Co authored the book are related.
