First published in 1960, the indispensable knowledge held with Freedom of the Hills has helped it come to be known as the climber’s bible. From jamming techniques to rope work and expedition planning, this book covers all the essential skills needed to safely travel in the mountains. More than 40 expert climbers contributed to this hefty reference, which compiles lifetimes of experience and information into detailed chapters and handy appendices.
Bottom Line: It’s called the climber’s bible for a reason.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

This book should be the bible of every outdoor enthusiast's library. That said, the broad nature of the text does make it clumsy to use sometimes, and definitely lacks clarification on the thought process that should go into each technique. Everything is in there though, just take it with a grain of salt, and make sure that you supplement your reading with more specialty texts as well.
Read this book, twice.

The holy bible of outdoorsmanship. The book is geared towards mountaineering, but is chuck full of information for hiking, camping, rock climbing, and survival. Think of it as your Boy Scout hand book on steroids! How should I layer my clothing? It's in there. How should I dig my latrine? It's in there. How do I tie a water knot? It's in there. Get this book and read it twice.
Change me.
