Another cold winter in 2010/2011 led to much new route activity
across the Highlands. The lead article is an account of the first
ascent of Stone Temple Pilots on Shelter Stone Crag - one of the
most impressive of the new climbs done last winter season. There
are also articles detailing the winter routes on Merrick in the
Borders and in Coire Eilde - a new venue in Glen Coe. There are
articles relating to the development of routes at Carnmore some
fifty years ago, as well Longbow Crag in the Cairngorms some thirty
years ago. There are also various articles of a more general
mountaineering interest including a modern appraisal of Ben Wyvis.
A short but very interesting article about the criteria for
identifying Corbetts is sure to generate much debate among the
hillbaggers. The Journal uses colour throughout for the very first
time this year. This has allowed illustrations to be used rather
more imaginatively than formerly.

This Trends in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Therapy Symposium was
held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 27 29 August 1999.
This is the seventh international symposium, sponsored by Axcan
Pharma Canada Inc., since the first symposium in 1986. The Canadian
Association of Gastroenterology has co-sponsored these symposia
since 1990. Each symposium has been published, and reflects and
updates the extensive research and education, and the understanding
of the mechanisms and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. From
the beginning, Canadian and international experts have been
involved, maintaining a consistently high quality, both in their
presentations, during discussions, and the subsequent publication
of their work. There have been major advances since the symposium
held two years ago, and these are presented in this book. In
keeping with modern educational practice, objectives are provided,
and all presentations were subject to written independent evalu
ation. All participants are asked to declare any conflicts of
interest. MOCOMP and educational credits are available."
This volume is the proceedings of the symposium 'Trends in
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Therapy 1999' held in Vancouver, Canada,
August 27-29, 1999, and sponsored by the Canadian Association of
Gastroenterology, The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada and
Axcan Pharma. It is the seventh international IBD symposium to be
held in Canada and focuses on all areas of IBD therapy.Topics
include: genetics; pathogenesis with reference to the role of
autoimmunity, bacterial factors and neutrophil -- epithelial
interactions; special clinical problems such as difficult diagnoses
and challenges presented by children and the elderly; bone disease
in IBD; an overview of current therapy; and a discussion of
alternative therapy.
This year sees the 80th anniversary of the original opening of the
CIC Hut on Ben Nevis. It also sees the completion of a major new
extension at the hut. A photo of Charles Inglis Clark climbing on
Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh as a young boy accompanies an article
by former hut custodian Gerry Peet. This is following by a profile
of Graham Macphee, who in the 1930s took full advantage of the
hut's location to pioneer a number of new routes on the North Face
when writing the first guidebook to the mountain. Gordon Smith also
writes again about his early winter adventures on Ben Nevis. This
year also sees the 70th anniversary of the first Greater Traverse
of the Cuillin by Charleson and Forde. This event is marked by
several articles relating to Skye including one by Forde's
daughter, Helen. There are lots of other stuff including climbing
in Yosemite, paragliding in Torridon and Corbett bagging, plus
details of all the rew routes done in Scotland over the last year.
Promises of gold brought the first waves of European-Americans to
Colorado in the 1859s. They found riches and built cities that
never should have lasted. Readers will discover the golden
beginnings of towns like Leadville and Boulder and meet the early
settlers and miners who brought them to life. The next promise was
always right around the corner, and the optimistic pioneers who
came west simply never gave up. Silver flooded the state with more
riches and more people, until the bubble burst and Colorado faded
from the forefront of the American dream. The stories of parties
headed west and the vibrant characters that populate them are the
stuff of legend. The state is booming again today, with a vibrant
beer, marijuana and energy economy epitomizing the 21st century
American dream. This is the history of Colorado through the lens of
its uniquely mythic economy, from boom to boom and into the future.
This year's "Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal" has the usual
great mix of articles - several involving adventures abroad. Martin
Moran describes some mega routes in the fjords of Norway, Mark
Litterick describes winter climbing in Austria, Graham Little
describes rock climbing in Albania and Steve Chadwick gives an
account of ascending Mount Cameroon in Africa. A scholarly piece
looks again at the climbs of WH Murray. Other articles describe a
rescue on Ben Nevis, the use of modern technology in the hills, how
to have an epic, a monster run in the Alps, and a discussion of the
disease of Munro bagging...and as usual details are included of all
the new routes pioneered in Scotland over the last year.
The cold conditions last winter were exceptional and a bumper crop
of new routes were put up across Scotland. These are fully
described in the New Climbs section. There is also an account of a
repeat of the Scottish Haute Route on skis from west to east over
seven days in March. Other articles include an account of an ascent
of Nanga Parbat as well as past adventures on Vulcan Wall and Route
2 Direct on Ben Nevis. There is also another look at the most
appropriate criteria for identifying separate mountains -
particularly Munros. The 'bagging game' still fascinates...This
year also sees the return, for the first time for many years, of
the detailed accident reports from the Mountaineering Council of
Scotland.
It will therefore, I think be admitted that the present volumes, in
which I have endeavoured to give a full and unprejudiced history of
the Women Bonapartes, call for no apology; and I may even venture
to believe that, whatever their shortcomings, they will be welcomed
by the English and American public as an attempt to fill a place in
our Napoleonic literature which has been long vacant.
This is the 2011 fully updated and enlarged, colour edition of the
very popular SMC guide "Skye Scrambles", first published in 2000.
The guide describes not only scrambles, but also walks and some
easier rock climbs. It is the definitive guidebook to scrambling on
Skye and as such it is also an essential guide for any hillwalkers
wishing to venture into the mountains of The Cuillin. There are
informative introductory sections on geology, wildlife and
mountaineering history. The guide is profusely illustrated with new
colour maps, crag diagrams and photographs. A significant number of
new outings are described and many route descriptions have been
updated. The guide uses a slightly larger format than the previous
guide and is also colour throughout. The traverse of the main ridge
of the Cuillin is fully described and new diagrams have been
created to show the crucial sections. Skye has far and away the
best scrambling in the UK. And this new edition of the guide gives
the most comprehensive description so far available of the
magnificent scrambles and easy climbs in the Cuillin and many other
parts of the island.
It will therefore, I think be admitted that the present volumes, in
