MOUNTAINEERINGThe Freedom of the Hills
“If there is only one ‘how to’ book to read for the aspirant and expert alike, it is Freedom of the Hills. In fact, it is fair to say that Freedom is the definitive guide to mountains and climbing and has influenced pretty much every climber.”
—Conrad Anker
“When I was a springy sapling, the pages of Freedom of the Hills held some of my very first lessons. Its simplicity coaxed me towards sky.” —Dean Potter
“The lessons I learned in the Mountaineers climbing course in 1945 stood me on the summit of Mount Everest in 1963. To see that knowledge put into a book was wonderful. That it has evolved into the best book on climbing, updated by active climbers, is remarkable. I have told many people, including my sons, ‘If you want to climb mountains, read Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills. Then read it again so you know, for sure, how to get down.’” —Jim Whittaker
