So which is the best guidebook for Bernese Oberland for alpine routes?

And which is the best informative book to just refresh oneself on alpine techniques?

In reply to An Triubhas: It is an old one but Alpine Climbing by John Barry is a good one

In reply to An Triubhas: The AC guide to the Oberland is pretty decent. Has a lot of rock in it too.

In reply to An Triubhas: i think i jave an old bernise oberland guide you have alpine clup version just for pp

In reply to An Triubhas: I've been reading Bruce goodlad alpine mountaining book, think it pseda press. Excellent, very easy to understand and logical. Have good trip. Rich

In reply to r.greaves: Brue Goodlad's book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alpine-Mountaineering-Essential-Knowledge-Alpinists...

I think it's the clearest and most up to date alpine climbing book I've seen.

Hey Stuart58 how old is your copy?

To others, the Bruce Goodlad book looks good thanks

In reply to An Triubhas: pre 1999

In reply to An Triubhas:

+1 for the Bruce Goodlad book. It also has a limited guidebook in the back of the book, which is handy.

In reply to stuart58:

Hi, I've sent you a pm re the book.

Cheers,
