Superb book for lovers of long alpine rock routes!
Most areas within a 1000-kilometer radius of Brussels are described, including Bergell, les Cerces, le Dévoluy, the Dolomites, the Écrins massif, the Mont Blanc massif, the Urner Alps, Vaud, la Vanoise, le Vercors, le Verdon, and Valais.
But that's not all—there is a detailed explanation of everything related to alpine climbing. From physical and mental preparation, through equipment, to an entirely new way of assessing the difficulty of a route: the "Caractère Alpin".
