Surviving the Mountain (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781482450859)

Climbing a mountain takes bravery and training even without considering the dangers that could await climbers. Lighting strikes, avalanches, sheer cliffs, and terrible cold can all be life-threatening, and readers hoping to trek high in the mountains need to know how to handle them! Through real-life survivor stories and supplemental fact boxes about each danger, readers are introduced to what it's like to travel in the mountains. Preparation and caution are emphasized, but instructions on what to do should a disaster occur are clear and understandable. Full-color photographs and multiple-choice questions engage readers further with this exciting and suspenseful topic.
