Detailed Product Description
Seattle, Mountaineers, 1960, 1st edition, 1st printing. 430 pp, many photos and illustrations. Hardcover with a transparent plastic dust jacket. The DJ has a piece missing from the title on the front, and across the top in the rear. Also there is rippling on many pages. Its appearance is quite good, as the spine is complete, as these flaws are quite subtle. It sounds like it is Very Good, but as its appearance is not suffering much, I will call it Near Fine. This is a copy of the original hardcover book that has helped train tens of thousands of mountaineers. This is by far the best selling and most influential American mountaineering inspiration and technique book of the 20th century. It sold over 1/2 million copies since 1960. It is fun to collect all the editions, and I have seen a collection of every printing of every edition. This first edition is the scarcest because it was probably sold mostly in the northwest, so few copies ended up in climber's hands until the 2nd edition. Chapters include Equipment, Camping and Sleeping, Alpine Cuisine, Wilderness Travel, Navigation in the Hills, Rock Climbing: Route Finding; Balance; Counterforce; Roped Climbing; Belaying; Piton Craft and Rappels. Snow and Ice Climbing: Snow; Ice; Glaciers; Arrests and Belays; Safe Climbing: The Climbing Party and its Leadership; Climbing Dangers; First Aid; Alpine Rescue; The Climbing Environment: Mountain Geology; The Cycle of Snow; Mountain Weather; Appendix: Food Requirements for Climbers. There are 16 exquisite photo plates printed on glossy paper that enhance the detail of the images, and they include: Mount Saint Elias in the Yukon, Berg Lake in the Canadian Rockies, Mount Formidable, Ripsaw Ridge, Mount Fury in the Picketts, Bugaboos, Forbidden Peak, Dome Peak (I climbed Dome peak in 1972) White Rock Lakes (I camped & climbed there in 1972), Ptarmigan Ridge, Sledging on the Seward Glacier near Saint Elias, The Terrible Traverse on Mount Constance in the Olympics, Mount Olympus, Puyallup Glacier, Devils Thumb in BC, Mount Logan, Mount Olympus on the Olympic Peninsula, Puyallup Glacier, Mount Rainier and Mount Robson.
