Versante Sud Sicurezza in montagna mountaineering guide

Versante Sud Sicurezza in montagna is a mountaineering guide who allows you to discover and learn the materials, maneuvers and techniques to best tackle mountain climbing.

Starting from the assumption that the mountain and its walls are by their nature never free from even important objective dangers, this manual describes techniques and materials, their use and their application in the environment. Beginners, but also those who already know and use the concepts illustrated here, will be able to draw useful insights and advice to better deal with mountaineering and climbing.

Among the topics covered you will find materials, knots, belaying and rope maneuvers, climbing techniques, climbing safety, evaluation of difficulties.

Each topic is dealt with according to a precise and recognizable scheme that starts from the "situation of use" up to the "construction" and "technical characteristics", using photos and diagrams in the explanations to make everything simpler and clearer.

There are also numerous boxes and windows to graphically highlight the key concepts, as well as any errors in use, curious or historical notes, suggestions dictated by practice and warnings to avoid potentially dangerous situations.

This guide was born from the collaboration of three prominent authors. Alpine guides of undisputed experience, who are at home on the most challenging walls of the Alps and of the world: Carlo Gabasio, Luca Macchetti and Paolo Tombini.
