This volume contains a collection of vintage articles on the subject of
mountaineering and the use of climbing rope. Written in simple, plain
language and profusely illustrated, this volume is highly recommended
for anyone with an interest in mountaineering, and will be of
considerable 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.
