Description: Published in 1942, this mountaineering guide was rushed to completion to aid in the training of American soldiers who entered the Army's 10th Mountain Division ("Ski Troops") in World War II. The contents page shows the wide variety of topics and techniques covered to keep climbers and mountaineering soldiers safe in many conditions. Techniques and equipment have of course changed since 1942. There are 234 pages, which show normal age coloration with no writing or damage. The dust jacket has a small tear and some wear. This original hardcover edition is a classic.
