This book outlines the strategies and skills required to attempt the featured summits, providing key information to enable climbers to match their ambitions to their abilities. While some of the climbs included in this book are quite challenging, many of the ascents can be undertaken by any fit person with suitable guidance. This new edition also includes seven new summits based on 1994 UIAA committee guidelines.

With the help of The Alpine 4000m Peaks, climbers will find themselves following in the footsteps of the pioneers who shaped this fine sport a century and a half ago.
