With the book on the mountain top


For those who want to know yet what would be expected in the mountains, but can not rouse themselves for the time being to climb, Dominik Prantl, author of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, a counselor wrote. Summit book, he calls his work, and it is for a book about football and a travel guide already his third non-fiction humorous slant.
Bayern Munich and it was particularly well known, the advantage that the mountains are close enough to touch. And almost everyone who has ever admired from afar the peaks on the horizon at Föhnwetter asked, ever quietly, may seem like the only beautiful from up there. Time of the valley and the distant city look down, hissing at the summit, a wheat beer, it would be a special experience. If only, if only to come up that would not be so cumbersome.
The "Summit Book", which, like his predecessor as humorous slant fiction book to be understood, Prantl delivers 300 pages long facts for the budding mountaineers. From the first steps with a definition of what for climbing at all, is (insert a legal one-night stand) on the tents in the mountains, what kind of behavior during a thunderstorm in the mountains is really useful (Klein do not be a leader, in the shade ), to the question of how one can come down again (jump flying out from the top,), is really any question about mountaineering and its side effects (burning gentian) answered brutally. All tips in the book are sound, despite the humorous approach, and with the help of numerous experts emerged, as can be read in the appendix.
By the time you have all the pages of the tome bound in felt by, you want to up the hill - or not. For those who want to score points after reading only with their knowledge, a council, if it impressed buddy dabeizusein made on the next tour, it is highly recommended to tackle the summit book unobtrusively in your rucksack.
