Aconcagua: Ascent routes and expeditions in the Southern Andes (Cicerone British Mountains) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little book includes less information about the climbing the summit of Aconcagua than what you can find free on the internet in five minutes. It should never have been published

At 6962m, Aconcagua is the highest peak outside the Himalayas and is accessible for both trekkers and mountaineers. The approach through Santiago and Mendoza is attractive with scope for equipping expeditions, and meeting the contrasting cultures in the region. Jim Ryan's book concentrates on the ascent of Aconcagua by the normal and Polish Glacier routes andgreat attention is given to preparation, equipment, health and handling the effects of altitude and the tough Andean climate.In addition, the trekking and mountaineering opportunities throughout the southern Andes are highlighted with treks in the Valecitos, Tupungato ranges and in the area around Santiago and Aconcagua itself, as well as background information to the region and its opening up as a climbing and trekking area.This is the most complete and up to date guide to the area and should materially improve the chances of completing the ascent safely and having an outstanding trip.

Aconcagua: A Climbing Guide, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A useful primer for those considering climbing Aconcagua. Describes routes of many different difficulty levels. If you are planning on doing the normal route, most of the book will be irrelevant since it describes more difficult and technical approaches. However, even the introduction and normal route description are valuable references. Especially the sections on health and safety concerns. Hopefully there will be a new edition for 1999 since I understand that in 1999-2000, Argentine regulations will require permits to purchased in Mendoza IN PERSON by those climbing -- a change from the current practice.

Lonely Planet Grand Canyon National Park (National Parks) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Couch potatoes should not write reviews for books intended for those of us who have the ambition to explore a region with our own two feet! This is an excellent book intended for an audience that wants to experience the Grand Canyon, not simply get out of the car and walk to a viewpoint and look at it. You do not need a guide book for that, the Park Service brochure is excellent and will be all that is required. Since the Grand Canyon is such a vast place, this guide book will be invaluable in helping you decide just how much you can experience in the time you have to spend here. And to help you determine just what you should attempt for your own physical condition! I highly recommend it for those interested in seeing and experiencing the Grand Canyon from other perspectives, in addition to the excellent viewpoints provided by the Natrional Park Service.
