In it, Gaston Rebuffat  -  one of the finest mountaineers of his generation  -  presents his 100 greatest climbs in the Mont Blanc range, the finest and most accessible alpine climbing area in the world.  This celebrated large-format guidebook remains the classic coffee-table guide to the greatest range in the Alps. As inspirational as it is informative, this book contains both beautiful photos and clear topos, thoroughly exciting writing and concise route directions. Its inspiring commentary has encouraged countless novice mountaineers and its wide spread of routes has sent numerous experienced alpinists out on new climbs.  This latest edition contains many additional historical notes and photos and also advice on previous training areas that are no longer useful as a result of climate change. An alternative route is added to replace the celebrated Bonatti Pillar of the Dru that collapsed in June 2005. That the book remains as popular as ever, 20 years after the author's death, is a testament to Rebuffat and clear proof of the book's enduring relevance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49523306725649,"sku":"GOR004819142","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50261548695825,"sku":"CIN1898573697G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53259295260945,"sku":"GOR006326182","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1898573697.jpg?v=1751092665"},{"product_id":"starlight-and-storm-book-gaston-rebuffat-9780375755064","title":"Starlight and Storm","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"One of the great climbers of all time . . . who has discovered through the medium of mountains the true perspective of living.\" -Sir John Hunt, author of\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Conquest of Everest\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Known for his lyrical writing and his ability to convey not only the dangers of mountaineering but the pure exaltation of the climb, Gaston Rebuffat is among the most well-known and revered Alpinists of all time. He rose to international prominence in 1950 as one of the four principal stalwarts in the first ascent of Annapurna, the highest mountain climbed at that time. Yet his finest feat as a mountaineer was to be the first man to climb all six of the legendary great north faces of the Alps-the Grandes Jorasses, the Piz Badile, the Dru, the Matterhorn, the Cima Grande di Lava-redo, and the Eiger.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With this elegant book, first published in 1954, Gaston Rebuffat transformed mountain writing. His insistence on seeing a climb as an act of harmonious communion with the mountain, not a battle waged against it, seemed radical at the time, though Rebuffat's aesthetic has since won the day. Through storms, avalanches, rock fall, unplanned bivouacs, and even the deaths of companions, we follow the Chamonix guide to the altar of his communion, on dark, icy walls that struck terror into the hearts of Europe's finest mountaineers. Nor are these deft narratives mere recitations of dangers faced and obstacles overcome, for Rebuffat pays as keen attention to the joys of comradeship won on these faces as he does to the climbs themselves. In our own day of corporate sponsorships, online expeditions, and eco-vacations, the purity of Rebuffat's vision of the Alps as (in the epithet of the title of another of his books) an \"enchanted garden\" shines forth in prose as fresh and stylish as any ever lavished on mountaineering.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537862402321,"sku":"GOR001290783","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49888896811281,"sku":"GOR005690717","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50003966329105,"sku":"CIN0375755063G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50024664400145,"sku":"CIN0375755063VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50734092058897,"sku":"GOR011742807","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51001923207441,"sku":"NIN9780375755064","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0375755063.jpg?v=1751071802"},{"product_id":"mont-blanc-massif-book-gaston-rebuffat-9781898573036","title":"Mont Blanc Massif","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49633918714129,"sku":"GOR005515171","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49669285675281,"sku":"GOR002763956","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1898573034.jpg?v=1751413507"},{"product_id":"between-heaven-and-earth-book-gaston-rebuffat-9780718205133","title":"Between Heaven and Earth","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49641943073041,"sku":"GOR006129379","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52108079726865,"sku":"GOR001622290","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53270424977681,"sku":"GOR005865321","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0718205138.jpg?v=1750944703"},{"product_id":"mont-blanc-massif-the-100-finest-routes-book-gaston-rebuffat-9780898864779","title":"The Mont Blanc Massif: the 100 Finest Routes","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49642976477457,"sku":"GOR006238753","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50973196484881,"sku":"CIN0898864771G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51717388828945,"sku":"CIN0898864771VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0898864771.jpg?v=1751108463"},{"product_id":"mont-blanc-massif-book-gaston-rebuffat-9780906371398","title":"The Mont Blanc Massif","description":"This book describes the 100 finest climbing routes of the Mont Blanc massif and is illustrated throughout with diagrams.
