Opis:
A selection of hundreds of the best winter climbs on Ben Nevis and in the Glen Coe area, categorised by type, from straightforward Grade I snow gullies and ridges through to extreme test pieces above Grade VIII. Includes notes on their formation and advice to help maximise your chances of finding the best conditions.
Ben Nevis and Glen Coe remain at the
forefront of Scottish winter climbing and hold their place on the world stage of
climbing. The classic climbs are highly regarded objectives. This selection of
the best climbs across the area is enough to offer any climber a lifetime of
inspiration.
This eighth edition of Cicerone's classic guide is the first
guide to categorise every climb and to describe in detail how they form, in
order to help climbers choose the best route and judge the climbing conditions.
Being in the right place at the right time is a major part of winter climbing
and this book will guide you through the decision-making process to make more
expeditions successful.
With snow, ice and mixed routes ranging from
grade I introductory ascents to extreme test pieces - including the hardest
traditional winter climb in the world - there are routes to suit all abilities
and preferences, plus advice to help you select an appropriate route for the
prevailing conditions.
