Mountain Craft

Description

Published by Methuen & Co, London, 1945, 4th Edition Revised (of the 1920 1st Edition), D/w (some wear at edges), V.G.    “Long regarded as a classic manual of mountaineering, this book also contains some of Young’s finest writing. He was a scholar, as well as a great climber, and one of the most influential figures in twentieth century British climbing.” (Neate).   This revision concentrates on updating the technical aspects of climbing and technique at the time, with the chapters by other contributors describing specific ranges being removed as it was felt they were on longer needed.
