Reading the straightforward text and reviewing the frequent illustrations has vastly increased my knowledge of mountaineering best practices. <br/> <br/>I made wiser decisions on a hike up to and beyond White Pine Lake in Little Cottonwood canyon having read up on snow travel and avalanches in this gem of a book the night before. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1250691?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
