Negative Positive
Title: Pontification and Insufficient Illustrations
Review: This book is less about mountaineering and more about the authors opinions or personal approach. You cannot read this book and feel as though you've been properly introduced to the various components of mountaineering. The Mountaineers publication is far superior.There are places where specific techniques are described in text, but not illustrated. It seems counter intuitive to use only text to describe what is predominately a practical sport/endeavor.
