Published annually since 1947, Accidents in North American Mountaineering details the year’s most significant and teachable accidents. For each incident, the AAC’s Safety Advisory Council analyzes what went wrong so you can avoid similar situations in the future.
After over 100 rappelling-related accidents in the last decade alone, this year’s edition features a new “how to” section on best rappelling practices.
