Beautiful horizontal coffee-table book covering all aspects of modern ice climbing. Published by climbing company Blue Ice, this book was originally written in French and has a strong European focus.
In my opinion this is the best instructional book on the market right now - better than Will Gadd's 2025 "Ice and Mixed Climbing." Both experts and novices alike will find something to appreciate here. The only knock against it is that it features few (like... very few) photographs or perspectives from women.
247 pages, full color, horizontal-format. Original Neptune Mountaineering Price tag ($39.99) on back.
