This is a major reference book for all walkers and climbers who
want to explore the mountains of the UK and Ireland in winter
conditions, as well as for those who wish to lead groups. It is
split into six sections: the winter environment, basic winter
skills, snow and avalanche, security on steep ground, winter
climbing and winter incidents, all of which contain colourful
illustrations, photos and maps which bring essential techniques to
life. This book has been written by Andy Cunningham and Allen Fyffe
and provides an indispensable guide to the skills required for
winter walking and climbing. This third edition has been fully
updated, in particular the section on snow and avalanche, as well
as some modernising of climbing techniques to align with current
methods and equipment. In 2014 the publisher, Mountain Training,
celebrated 50 years of leading the way and currently overseas
thirteeen qualifications and two personal skills schemes in
walking, climbing and mountaineering. This book is the official
handbook for Mountain Training's winter qualifications: Winter
Mountain Leader, International Mountain Leader and Winter
Mountaineering Can Climbing Instructor. It is endorsed by the
British Mountaineering Council, Mountaineering Scotland and
Mountaineering Ireland.
