About

What is in the name? Lots…

The name of this blog is inspired from the legendary book – Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills. The Bible for outdoors. The Freedom of the Hills - 7th Edition   The Freedom of the Hills - 50th Anniversary Edition

This book introduces the tried and tested ways to enjoy the freedom of the hills in a safe and enjoyable way. After a decade of hiking and some climbing, I had often felt that something lacked in my methods. Thanks to Prabhu who introduced me to this book; it opened new avenues.

To quote from this book:

“Freedom of the hills” is a concept that combines the simple joy of being in the mountains with the skill, equipment and strength to travel without harm to ourselves, others, or the environment. The hills do not offer this freedom inherently – only on trade. What must you offer in this trade? Training, preparation, and desire.

Happy reading!

PS:  The new 50th anniversary edition (8th edition) of this book is released now. Rush for the stores!
