About this title

Synopsis

In this illustrated guide, Pritchard tells you where to go for the best rock climbing in Australia. Divided firstly by states and then subdivided by regions, each climbing area is introduced indicating routes to follow. Maps are also used to indicate the various climbing regions and the location and number of routes available in each area. Each area feature includes a summary of what to expect, including transport, geology, accomodation, a brief history of notable climbs, route notes and recommendations. Climatic conditions are also covered, including when to climb each area, natural hazards, basic first aid and emergency procedures and grade comparison - Australia's grades versus international grades and a history of Australian climbing.

Store Description

Established in 2001, Arapiles Mountain Books is the only specialist mountaineering bookseller in Australia. We carry a large stock of fine, rare and out of print mountaineering and adventurous travel books, with a particular emphasis on British, Australian, New Zealand and Himalayan climbing narratives and guides. We have an especially wide selection of early - mid 20th travel books in dustwrapper, signed books and expedition memorabilia. On-line catalogues can be browsed on this website. The proprietor, Andrew Long, has climbed the world over since 1980, and has spent much of his time over the (last few) years, collecting and reading climbing and travel narratives by more intrepid writers. He will be happy to answer any queries or provide advice on condition, approximate value, rarity or just plain readability free of charge. A booksearch service is available. Although we are a mail order store, visitors are most welcome to browse our stock by making an appointment. I have a bricks and mortar bookshop in Central Victoria ('Mount of Alex', 273 Barker Street, Castlemaine), which is open 11am - 5pm Saturday and Sundays (excluding public holidays). Note that internet listed books are not stored in the shop, but can be brought in by request. Appointments to view the stock may be made by calling Andrew on +61 410 650 923 or by email to araps@alassoc.com.au.
