Compiled and co-authored by veteran climber Grant Farquhar with
contributions from a range of voices within Scotland's close-knit
climbing community, A' Chreag Dhearg traces the rich climbing
history of Angus Glens. Although less frequented than the
forbidding ramparts of Glencoe or Skye, the crags and gullies in
this unique area of the Cairngorms harbour classic summer and
winter lines that have attracted some of Scotland's most respected
climbers over the course of a century. In this engaging collection
of vignettes and photographs, the origins of many of the glens'
best-loved routes are described in intimate detail in an
entertaining style that will appeal to both local climbers and
those seeking new ventures to explore. The authors have woven the
distinctive dialect and humour of this corner of Scotland into the
narrative, imbuing it with a quality that is, by turns, both edgy
and wistful. Despite the deceptively narrow scope of this story,
the breadth with which it is considered here captures the way that
climbing has developed in Scotland over time, and how this history
is often exceptionally localised. A' Chreag Dhearg is both a
tribute to Victorian pioneers and latter-day trailblazers and a
poignant reflection on formative, youthful endeavours.
