Rockfax for the alps - but a far more sensible size! Clear colour photo topos and routes described via the glacier basins rather than by peak, make this easier to use than the AC guides, however some of the route descriptions are brief to the point of taciturnity and pure rock climbs (even quite famous ones) are not included.
This third edition has been updated, expanded, corrected and reorganised in order to take into account changes in climbing conditions and the latest developments in mountaineering, as well as the numerous new routes that have been climbed in recent years. Clear colour photo topos and routes sensibly described via the glacier basins rather than by peak, make this superb guide easier to use than the AC guides, however some of the route descriptions are brief to the point of taciturnity and pure rock climbs (even quite famous ones) are not included.
Volume 1 covers the north-eastern part of the range, from the Trient area to the Géant area, and includes the Argentière Glacier.
Over 750 routes and a huge number of photodiagrams with good clear maps.
