A full-color master class on extreme alpine climbing by one of the world's elite mountaineers.

The most advanced climbing how-to on the market.
Techniques and mental skills needed to climb at a more challenging level.
Illustrated with full-color photos throughout .

Big, high routes at the edge of a climber's ability are not the places for inventing technique or relying on old habits. Complacency can lead to fatal errors. So where does the hard-core aspirant or dreamer turn?
The only master class in print, Extreme Alpinism delivers an expert dose of reality and practical techniques for advanced climbers. Focusing on how top alpine climbers approach the worldąs most difficult routes, Twight centers his instruction on the ethos of climbing the hardest routes with the least amount of gear and the most speed. Throughout, Twight makes it clear that the two things he refuses to compromise are safety and his climbing ethics.
In addition to the extensive chapters on advanced techniques and skills, Twight also discusses preparedness and attitude; strength and cardiovascular training; good nutrition; and tips on equipment and clothing.
