Climber's and Hiker's Guide to the World's Mountains

"The one principal objective of this book is to get the slimber or hiker, on the right side of the mountain in question, and to the top via the normal or easiest route possible. This book will not discuss the kinds of clothing and equipment needed for traveling or climbing, with the exception of such things as rain gear or ice ax and crampons when special conditions require them. Subjects such as geology, history and cultures of the people living in the areas surrounding the mountains, will not be discussed here, with only a few exceptions." --
