Mr. Kirkus has climbed in many places from the English Lake District to the Himalayas. Believing climbing to be an ideal exercise, he describes his childhood initiation, the importance of mountain walking, the preparation and equipment for serious ascents, methods of practice, the acquiring of a steady head, and the rest of the hundred and one directions in which a climber perfects his technique. Red cloth, gilt titles. B/w photos and a map of the Berwyns, North Wales. Top edge green. 200 pages including index. Reprint. Some foxing present, mainly to endpapers and text block. Pictorial dustwrapper is edge-worn and grubby, one tape repair to verso.
