Hot Ice - Ice Climbing in Western Switzerland

*Apologies for the prices of these guides, the recent Euro/Swiss Franc exchange rates have made it extremely hard to keep the prices of many northern European guides inline with the usual British guide rates.

The one volume Hot Ice - Eiskletterführer (Ice Climbing) for Switzerland is now split into two bands - East & West. Each book in itself, covering individually over 400 pages, is far larger than the original volume. In German, but with clear maps, diagrams etc.

Both the new guides give a modern concise layout, utilizing both photo-topo and (pretty techy) crag diagrams, whilst the whole guide is interspersed with plenty of good action images. In the band West the following areas are thoroughly covered:
