Lightweight Expeditions

Small is Beautiful.

A lightweight expedition to tackle a smaller peak is, many climbers now believe, cheaper, safer, and a lot more fun than the big, enormously costly expeditions that capture the publicity. Lightweight expeditions can be undertaken by any climber, they are far more satisfying for the individual concerned and much less damaging to the mountain environment too.

But how to go about organising such an expedition? In this book Rob Collister provides all the information needed to plan, equip and carry out a lightweight expedition, drawing on his 20 years' experience of expeditioning worldwide.

Clear and practical, the book will enable many climbers to broaden their horizons and experience all the rewards and fun of travel to the remote regions of the world.
