Publisher's Synopsis

"The definitive guide to mountains and climbing." --Conrad Anker

  • More than 800,000 copies sold since the first edition was published in 1960, and translated into 12 languages
  • Detailed instructions and hundreds of illustrations share the latest in best practices
  • Researched and written by a team of expert climbers, guides, and instructors

Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills is the most significant guidebook ever published. Born from the handwritten climbing tips of early volunteers of the Seattle-based Mountaineers organization, this fundamental how-to manual has inspired emerging climbers around the globe across nine editions for more than six decades.

Mountaineers Books is proud to present the 10th edition of this master guide, commonly referred to as "Freedom." From planning a weekend backpacking trip to navigating the logistics of a months-long alpine expedition, from tying knots and hitches to essential belaying and rappelling techniques, from setting up camp in the wilderness to summiting glaciated peaks--this comprehensive textbook written by climbers for climbers covers it all.
