About the Book

In this companion volume to the popular 'Scotland's Mountain Ridges' Dan Bailey offers a passionate introduction to summer scrambles, technical rock routes and challenging winter climbs on ridges in the Lake District, Snowdonia, Peak District, Exmoor, Cornwall, the Isle of Wight, Kerry and Connemara. In 48 routes, he covers a host of popular classics and obscure gems, from Sharp Edge to Skeleton Ridge and from Mynydd Mawr to the MacGillycuddy's Reeks Ridge Traverse. With inspirational photographs, Ordnance Survey map extracts and topo diagrams, this book is both a celebration of the landscape and a practical route guide and features a climbing glossary for walkers and scramblers coming new to the subject.
