BOOKS AND CALENDARS NOLS WILDERNESS MOUNTAINEERING

National Outdoor Leadership School's Wilderness Mountaineering:

"A solid, concise, and readable treatise on mountaineering hazards, party movement, equipment, safety, technical climbing, glacier travel, rescue, and ethics. The focus is on semi-technical multiday travel over rugged glacial terrain -- the segment of climbing where instruction is the hardest to find and most necessary." -- Backpacker

"A superb, portable handbook of mountaineering basics; a veteran instructor shares the collective wisdom of one of the top outdoor schools in the country." -- Climbing

"Phil Powers, a NOLS guide, has taken [the school’s] vast experience and knowledge regarding wilderness mountaineering and placed it on the pages of his book. The descriptions are exceptionally clear and easy to understand, as are the accompanying illustrations." -- Outdoor Retailer
