Guidebook to the best graded winter climbing routes around Ben Nevis and Glen Coe, with nearly 1000 buttresses, ridges and gullies described, all illustrated with photo topos.
This guide covers all that is best on Ben Nevis, as well as Carn Dearg, Aonachs Mor and Beag, and Bidean nam Bian and its related summits, Buchaille Etive Mor, Beinn Udlaidh and outlying peaks in Glen Coe as are the crags on Stob Coire an Laoigh and Mullach nan Coirean. With colour photography throughout and information on interpreting avalanche forecasts, as well as a section on judging which crags will be in good condition, will make this guide essential for all winter climbers.
Mike Pescod, an IFMGA Mountain Guide with 15 years' experience of winter climbing, has taken on the mantle of revising this guidebook from Alan Kimber. This is his first book for Cicerone.
