Snow & Ice – Winter Mountaineering Routes of Great Britain

A guide to 100 of the best winter mountaineering routes in Britain, covering North Wales, the Lake District and Scotland.

Snow & Ice brings together some of the country’s best and most famous low-grade winter climbs to create the ultimate tick-list for the aspiring winter climber. One hundred routes, all between grade I and IV, are described in superb detail, along with clear, annotated topos, detailed maps and lots of background information.

The book is designed to be small enough and light enough to fit in a day sack lid, without compromising on content. Alongside full-page photo topos, it provides useful logistical information, as well as plenty of historical background outlining the role that these influential climbs played in the development of mountaineering in the UK.

This guidebook describes one hundred winter climbs located in the main centres of British winter climbing: Scotland, the Lake District and North Wales. These routes provide some of the very best winter days out for climbers operating in the lower grades and incorporate a wide variety of crags, areas and styles.

Any selection of routes is subjective and inevitably some excellent climbs could not be included. The aim here is to provide a convenient single-volume guide to the best low-grade British snow and ice climbs, describing them in sufficient detail for those visiting for the first time.
