This is a book written by the author about their mountain climbing experiences. It's a two-column layout, making it a very satisfying read. This is a 8th printing from 1976. There is age-related yellowing and staining on the top, bottom, fore-edge, and text pages. Please check the condition in the photos. If you have any questions, please contact me in the comments. Thank you for your consideration. #mountaineering #outdoor #mountainclimbing #hiking #beginnermountaineering #mountaineeringgear #mountainlovers #trekking #nature
