Scotland’s Winter Mountains With One Axe

Scotland’s Winter Mountains with one axe – A selection of thirty easily
accessible, done in a day, mountain journeys.

All of Scotland’s classic winter ridges are described in detail, including the
Aonach Eagach, Liathach and An Teallach. The big gullies of the Northwest are
also included, such as Deep South Gully on Beinn Alligin and Morrison’s Gully
on Beinn Eighe.

All routes fall into the lower categories of climbing grade (I and II),
meaning they are perfectly suited for a traditional approach, with just one
axe and minimal amount of gear, if any. Three easy routes have been included
to provide a step-up from winter hillwalking.

The book contains background information and an easy-to-follow description for
each of the selected outings. It is laid out in a contemporary format and
supplemented with bespoke colour maps and 116 colour photographs showcasing
Scotland’s spectacular mountain scenery.

This is an ideal book for anyone who has a love for Scotland’s mountains and
will take a reader on the best winter journeys from the comfort of a favourite
chair. The author has taught climbing and mountain skills for 24 winter
seasons in the Highlands.
