Mountaineers and polar travelers know that glaciers and their hidden cracks present some of their most uncertain and unnerving hazards. This book turns uncertainty into a lucid and coherent system that addresses every aspect of getting around on the world’s glaciers. Since Andy first wrote it in 1989 it has become a mandatory text for anyone going the snowy realms. He’s updated it repeatedly, and it’s been translated into both Italian and Spanish. It features:

• Reading the crevasse hazard, avoiding crevasse pitfalls

• Managing roped travel, customizing your methods to your team and glacier

• Stopping falls, rescuing yourself and your partners

• Published by The Mountaineers Books, 143 pages, dozens of clear illustrations and photos, updated in 2006

• $18.95 + $5 Shipping
