This book is a collection of vintage articles on the subject of
mountaineering and the use of climbing rope. Written in simple language
and profusely illustrated, this volume is highly recommended for anyone
with an interest in mountaineering, and will be of most utility to
beginners. "The Principles of Rock Climbing" has been carefully selected
for a modern readership, and would make for a fantastic addition to
collections of related literature. Many vintage books such as this are
becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that
we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality
edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on
mountaineering.
