World Mountaineering
World Mountaineering, edited by Audrey Salkeld, is a large‑format, premium mountaineering reference showcasing over 50 of the world’s most iconic mountains and their greatest climbs. Organized by continent, it features legendary peaks such as Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, the Eiger, K2, Nanga Parbat, Kangchenjunga, Mount Everest, Kilimanjaro, and Mount Vinson.
Each mountain entry includes stunning photography, aerial‑style maps, climbing history timelines, and route overviews contributed by world‑class mountaineers. The book goes far beyond typical guidebooks by blending topographical detail with personal essays, historical context, and practical climbing insights — from access and red tape to best seasons and recommended gear.
With contributions from renowned climbers and a foreword by Chris Bonington, this volume captures both the technical challenge and emotional allure of high‑altitude adventure. It’s an essential addition for collectors of mountaineering literature, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the world’s great peaks.
