You love climbing and want to start climbing in the bigger mountains. You want to climb in the Alps but don't have the skills to move on a glacier. You want to climb longer routes but feel you are too slow and don't know how to climb exposed terrain quickly and safely. You've just returned from your first (or maybe your second or third) trip to the Alps and feel you could have achieved more. This is the book for you!

Bruce will walk you through the techniques you need to move efficiently on alpine terrain, be it on rock, snow and ice or a blend of all three.

The second half of the book is a selected guidebook of routes from throughout the Alps that are ideal for you to start your Alpine climbing progression on.
