“I purchased my first copy of Thefreedomofthehills in 1976 and consumed

it several times, well before I ever set foot in the mountains. Through the

years, my well-worn copy became my guide and reference for the art of

mountaineering. I would highly recommend this book as a ‘must have’ for any

aspiring mountaineer’s library.”
