“New Interactive Guide to Climbing in South America”

At last there is a comprehensive, media rich resource for mountaineering in South America. While guidebooks provide excellent text based information they are usually limited visually. With this product you not only read about the climb but also see the climb at each of its important stages.

Your Visual Guide to Mountaineering in South America CD ROM (MSAcd) is produced by Eleva Interactive. This is an exciting visual guide to climbing 32 of the classic peaks of South America. It provides an excellent resource to those contemplating climbing or trekking in the Andes and the Antarctic Peninsula. It is also suitable for people who would like to visualize climbing routes and peaks they have heard about but do not plan to climb themselves, such as the fabled Cerro Torre.

Photos and other media like video and sound are able to inspire the true feeling of being out there on a climb. Most of the important information required to ascertain a climb is visual - the terrain type, the line of the climbing route, the crux pitch, the objective dangers, the identification of surrounding peaks and your attraction to the climb in the first place. A CD ROM is capable of presenting more quality photos and other rich media in a better organized manner than a book.

So don’t just read about the climb before heading off, actually visualize it to make sure it is really what you want to climb. Visit the product's website today - http://www.msacd.com/ - and download the free demo or order MSAcd now!

"Some wonderful photos there. ... it's very inspiring and should get a lot of people up and packing to go to South America."
