An exceptional book which sits at the intersection between history book, coffee-table photography showcase, and guidebook. Alex Buisse has made a name for himself as one of the prominent modern climbing photographers. This book features incredible overview images of the major faces throughout the Mont Blanc Massif, labeled with the routes, FA info, and difficulties.
There are no pitch-by-pitch topos or specific climbing recommendations, but if this book doesn't get you stoked, you must not like alpine climbing. This book primarily covers the Chamonix/Courmayuer area, but also includes the Eiger and Matterhorn North Faces.
176 pages, full color. Hardcover with no dust jacket - front and back cover images are printed directly on the boards. Corners on this copy are slightly crushed - no problem to the reading experience, but slightly weathered.
