The Mountain Skills Training Handbook
by Pete Hill & Stuart Johnson
This book is aimed at those undertaking the MIA
or MIC qualifications and is approved by Association
of Mountaineering Instructors. It is also useful
for those undertaking the Mountain Leader and
Single Pitch Award as contains loads of useful
information
The book covers Mountain Leadership Skills, Technical
Skills for Summer and Winter Climbing, Avalanche
Awareness and Snowcraft Skills. The book has a
hard wearing plastic cover, supposedly so you
can use it on the hill but not sure how practical
that is.
Loads of nice clear diagrams and photographs
to compliment the text.
