Great idea! by Brett Brown (Highland Lakes, NJ United States)

In my opinion a good book must be informative and it needs to keep your interest. This book does both. 90 percent of this book is illustrated with cartoon figures with arrows pointing to all the details (actually more detailed that a photo could be). At first glance you might think this book doesn't offer much in the way of knowledge. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This is one of the best books I have read. It is the type of book that you will refer to often and should be read by anyone looking to venture onto glaciers. Nice job guys.

Very useful book. Don't let the cartoons fool you. Each one illustrates at least one important point and usually many points. This book is a delight to read and will help keep you safe and alive. Climb on!

As a mountaineering instructor, this book is the clear favorite among students. The text is clearly and concisely written and the illustrations make the information accessible and simple for anyone to understand. And the cartoons are so dang cute! The book also offers a number of expert tips learned from years of experience. I highly recommend this over all of the other options out there.
