Drawing on experiences in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Swiss Alps, and other ranges familiar to early twentieth-century American alpinists, Robbins writes in a restrained, essayistic style that emphasizes judgment, companionship, leadership, and responsibility in dangerous terrain. The book belongs to an older tradition of mountaineering literature less concerned with conquest or record-setting than with character, patience, and the ethical obligations climbers owe to one another and to the mountains themselves, making it as much a meditation on human conduct as a record of ascents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robbins, Leonard H.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47230422122754,"sku":"106281","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/4412\/1602\/files\/106281.jpg?v=1768599804","url":"https:\/\/bibliope.com\/products\/mountains-and-men","provider":"Bibliope","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
