5.0 out of 5 stars Ice for all, October 29, 2004

By	Ann Skys (Utah) - See all my reviews

I find the book to be compeling even to the beginners. Not only for ice climbers, but hikers during the summer to go to these places and enjoy the beauty and the overwhelming intrige for winter's ice to crystalize.
