Fakta

"Gripping Glacier Routes" presents a groundbreaking synthesis of scientific glacier research and practical mountaineering expertise, addressing the critical challenges faced by high-altitude climbers in an era of changing glacial conditions. This comprehensive guide uniquely bridges the gap between technical climbing skills and glaciology, offering evidence-based protocols derived from two decades of research across the world's major mountain ranges, including the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas.

The book systematically develops its content through three interconnected sections, beginning with fundamental principles of glacier formation and movement, incorporating recent climate data that affects traditional climbing routes. Readers then explore detailed climbing techniques specific to various ice conditions, supported by equipment studies and real-world accident analyses. The final section provides comprehensive expedition planning guidance, including weather interpretation and risk assessment protocols, making the content particularly valuable for both professional mountaineers and serious recreational climbers.

What sets this guide apart is its innovative integration of scientific data with practical applications, using actual expedition experiences to illustrate complex concepts. Through detailed case studies and documented field research, the book offers specific protocols for assessing ice stability, selecting appropriate equipment, and planning rescue procedures. This approach makes advanced glaciology concepts accessible while maintaining the technical accuracy necessary for safe high-altitude glacier travel, particularly relevant for those planning extended trips on glaciated terrain above 3,000 meters.
