Winner: Mountain Literature (Non Fiction) The Jon Whyte Award,
Banff Mountain Book Competition 2019 Waymaking is an anthology of
prose, poetry and artwork by women who are inspired by wild places,
adventure and landscape. Published in 1961, Gwen Moffat's Space
Below My Feet tells the story of a woman who shirked the
conventions of society and chose to live a life in the mountains.
Some years later in 1977, Nan Shepherd published The Living
Mountain, her prose bringing each contour of the Cairngorm
mountains to life. These pioneering women set a precedent for a way
of writing about wilderness that isn't about conquering landscapes,
reaching higher, harder or faster, but instead about living and
breathing alongside them, becoming part of a larger adventure. The
artists in this inspired collection continue Gwen and Nan's
legacies, redressing the balance of gender in outdoor adventure
literature. Their creativity urges us to stop and engage our
senses: the smell of rain-soaked heather, wind resonating through a
col, the touch of cool rock against skin, and most importantly a
taste of restoring mind, body and spirit to a former equanimity.
With contributions from adventurers including Alpinist magazine
editor Katie Ives, multi-award-winning author Bernadette McDonald,
adventurers Sarah Outen and Anna McNuff, renowned filmmaker Jen
Randall and many more, Waymaking is an inspiring and pivotal work
published in an era when wilderness conservation and gender
equality are at the fore.
