extreme alpinism by Mark Twight is a much more effective book on how to climb alpine routes. IMO theres some better books out there that deal with each subject better, ie avalanches etc. most stuff can be found on the old interweb as well! crevassee rescue isnt too hard to learn from a computer screen!!
id say go to canada or europe dude! NZ is great fun but its a steep fairly dangerous learning curve. If you actually want to climb technical pitches NZ isnt the best. it is still a good cheap alternative, with places like wye creek and the remarkables in winter though!!
like others have said, hiring a guide with some mates is way better then doing a course generally. with similar skill levels and fitness everyone will get the most out of the time!!
get amongst it dude, cya out there!! :) |
