The most significant climbing handbook written by and for Australians for a generation, and by far the most comprehensive, this book has been written by the staff and instructors at the prestigious Australian School of Mountaineering, combining decades of knowledge, training and international experience. Highly illustrated with hundreds of photographs and technical drawings, the book guides climbers at every level with its approach to planning, equipment, safety, technical skills, environmental considerations and notable aspects of cultural and historical significance.

Lead author Brendon Flanagan and his co-writers and technical advisors, acknowledged leaders in their respective fields, have written under the auspices and guidance of the highly-respected Australian School of Mountaineering. The ASM, the oldest climbing school in Australia, has been delivering guidance and training for several decades.
