Scottish Rock Volume Two North (CN039)

Scottish Rock Volume Two North (CN039)

From the foreword by Hamish MacInnes:
“If you have an ambition to do all the climbs in these two Scottish Rock guides I think you’d better schedule time off in your next life. This labour of Gary’s has been of gargantuan proportions.
Those of you who use the guides will benefit by his dedication and the sheer choice offered; if you divide the retail price of these by the number of good routes you’ll realise what a bargain this is.”

Volume 2 covers a proliferation of Scottish crags north of the natural demarcation of the Great Glen. The Outer Hebrides receive due attention and further north, beyond the magic of Skye, in the Northern Isles even more crags are revealed such as Beri Head and St John’s Head.

Selected climbs in Isle of Skye, Applecross, Torridon, Gairloch, Goigach & Assynt, Sutherland, Caithness, Outer Hebrides - Lewis & Harris, Barra Isles - Pabbay & Mingulay, Northern Isles - Orkney.

The author has been a long-time advocate of selected climbs and the use of photographs to illustrate both climbs and action and this principle has been used throughout these two volumes. It gives the climber a push to get up and do things. The list seems endless and if you succeed in doing half of them you’ll be a much better climber and know a lot more about Scotland - have a good decade!
