Your Visual Guide to Mountaineering in South America CD ROM (MSAcd) is the first comprehensive interactive multimedia guide to climbing in South America.
While guidebooks provide excellent text based information they are usually limited visually. MSAcd makes full use of multimedia –- photos, video, audio, animation, 3D maps, hyperlinks, as well as text. This gives the user a truer idea of the climb – the terrain type, the line of the climbing route, the crux pitch, the objective dangers, identification of surrounding peaks and a peak's aesthetic beauty – the very thing that often attracts us to a climb in the first place.
