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. Graceful carved
walkways slung between summits, twisted spines of stone - ridges
can be the most beautiful of mountain landforms. With elegant lines
and giddy exposure, ridge climbs emit a powerful siren call,
drawing us out onto the rocks. Life on the edge has a special
quality, born of the contrast of empty space all around, and
intricate detail in close-up. The crests are strangely
irresistible. Scotland's ridges are among the finest mountaineering
lines in the country, every one a unique adventure. The variety of
these routes reflects the breadth of the mountain experience: a
rich mix of summer scrambles, technical rock and challenging winter
climbs. This book covers both the popular classics and some obscure
gems, aiming to celebrate these thrilling climbs as much as to
document them. 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. The chosen selection
spans the grade range, with routes to suit all levels of ability.
Whether an earthbound hillwalker or an accomplished climber,
Scotland's ridges cannot fail to stir your imagination.
50 great mountain walks in Scotland. Some of the routes described
in this larger format book are well known classic challenges such
as the Lochaber Traverse, the Mamores and Cairngorms 4000-ers while
others approach a favourite mountain from a new angle or combine
several in a testing way. Each one can be crammed into a single,
long day or backpacked over two to spend a little longer in this
rugged and addictive landscape. The collection spans Scotland,
right across its magnificent upland areas and dramatic peaks.
Routes range from 12 to 25 miles and many would make a good two-day
adventure. Some can be approached by kayak or mountain bike. Over
270 ranges and summits feature in settings as varied as the
snowbound Cairngorm plateaus and the land-sea jigsaw of the
Hebrides, where rugged peaks rise from clear water. Few walking
destinations are better suited to routes at the longer, tougher end
of the scale.
