5.0 out of 5 stars Exhaustive, detailed, excellent, July 24 2003

Morgan Brown (Stanford, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Climber's Guide to Glacier National Park (Paperback)

As the previous reviewer notes, the 1995 edition is most useful. Unless you buy used from Amazon, you WILL get the 1995 edition. It contains many crucial updates and additions.

Route descriptions are surprisingly detailed for a guidebook. Most important peaks have multiple routes described. Seeing as how there is effectively zero route information on the internet, you're stuck with it. Luckily, the book is very good!

John Howard (West Linn, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Climber's Guide to Glacier National Park (Paperback)

Be sure you get the 1995 revised edition of this book. I received the original 1984 edition, and it is heavy on text and light on route maps and photos. Many of the peaks and routes have no supporting photos. I suspect the 1995 revision has corrected this. Climbing guidebooks need to be visual.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential for Mountaineers who visit Glacier!, Sep 13 2001

This review is from: Climber's Guide to Glacier National Park (Paperback)

This guide covers most of the peaks in the park. Many of the mountains not covered here are at least mentioned and Edwards proclaims the apparent ease of these climbs. My experience agrees with this surmission. I have been on the mountains of the park with, and without the guide. When the guide was in possession, the climb was greatly simplified. Well done and a must for those interested in climbing mountains in Glacier National Park!
