Books for the outdoors

I'm looking for a book that teaches serious mountain skills like Freedom of the Hills minus the snow but all that I could find in the internet so far are in the context of North America and/or is all about backpacking/thru hiking.

Any suggestions?

I'm from the UK and our Mountain Leader Training association has a series of 5 books

  1. Hillwalking
  2. Rock Climbing
  3. Winter Skills
  4. Navigation in the Mountains
  5. International Mountain Trekking

I own #1 and #4 and can recommend them (you can leave out #3). They are quite a bit geared towards the UK (e.g. detailed discussion of our OS maps) but the principles in them should be applicable anywhere.

Other ones maybe worth a look are the cicerone series.
