Scotland\'s Mountain Ridges: Scrambling, Mountaineering and Climbing - the best routes for summer and winter A guidebook to the rich mix of summer scrambling, rock climbing and winter mountaineering on Scotland\'s ridges, from the remote Cairngorms to the splendour of the Cuillin.
Whether an earthbound hillwalker or an accomplished climber, Scotland\'s Ridges cannot fail to stir your imagination..
The chosen selection spans the grade range, with routes to suit all levels of ability.
Along the way it explores landscapes of magnificent diversity, ranging from the remote desolation of the Cairngorms to the seaside splendour of the Cuillin, the great trench of Glencoe to the surreal exhibitionism of the far north.
This book covers both the popular classics and some obscure gems, aiming to celebrate these thrilling climbs as much as to document them.
The variety of these routes reflects the breadth of the Mountain experience: a rich mix of summer scrambles, technical rock and challenging winter climbs.
Scotland\'s Ridges are among the finest mountaineering lines in the country, every one a unique adventure.
The crests are strangely irresistible.
Life on the edge has a special quality, born of the contrast of empty space all around, and intricate detail in close-up.
With elegant lines and giddy exposure, ridge climbs emit a powerful siren call, drawing us out onto the rocks.
Graceful carved walkways slung between summits, twisted spines of stone - Ridges can be the most beautiful of Mountain landforms.
