Scrambling, Mountaineering and climbing. The best routes for summer and winter. There is something special about a ridge. When rock, sky and climber meet a sort of spell is woven. It’s an experience that blends vastness with detail, wide open space with up-close climbing intricacy. Mountaineers with an eye for bold forms and beautiful backdrops are drawn to the edges, where some of the most rewarding routes in the British Isles are waiting. Following Cicerone’s popular Scotland’s Mountain Ridges, this book describes and celebrates the best such routes across the rest of Britain and Ireland, bringing them all together in one place for the first time. Ranging from balmy (and occasionally barmy) seaside trips and roadside quick fixes to strenuous snowy days in the high hills, this selection reflects the diversity of mountaineering and traditional climbing on offer in our islands.
