<p align="justify" style="">Glaciers, firn ridges and hard ice - mountaineering and ice climbing are fascinating but equally risky mountain sports disciplines. Movement at high altitudes is demanding, the dangers of slippery ground, hidden avalanches and crevasses are complex. The newly published "Alpin-Lehrplan 3: Hochtouren - Eisklettern" from the Rother Wissen &amp; Praxis series is a comprehensive guide for both beginners and ambitious mountaineers.<br><br>It covers climbing in firn, ice and mixed terrain, current safety techniques on glaciers and in fall-prone terrain, as well as movement techniques and tactics. The course also covers theory on equipment, glacier and meteorology, mountain rescue and first aid, orientation, alpine dangers, risk management, tour planning and training theory. As the high alpine regions in particular are greatly affected by climate change, there is also a chapter dedicated entirely to environmental protection and nature conservation.<br><br>The texts are written in an understandable and comprehensible way. Many photos and graphics, drawn in the proven, humorous style of Georg Sojer, furthermore help to convey the content vividly.<br><br>The official alpine curricula of the German Alpine Club are not only aimed at instructors, but above all at mountaineers themselves. They have been developed according to the latest didactic findings and are particularly practice-oriented. In addition to the special know-how for the respective mountain sports discipline, they convey the versatility and experience value of alpinism in a clear presentation.
