Northern Highlands North Edited by Andy Nisbet. The Northern Highlands is a huge area and those willing to travel will find the pleasure of remote cliffs in wonderful scenery. Visitors are few, and away from the most popular areas, the chances of finding anyone else on your cliff are small. As a consequence many of the routes, both summer and winter may be unrepeated or have had very few ascents. Accordingly, climbers should approach grades and descriptions with caution. This Scottish Mountaineering Club Climbers guide covers the area from the north coast south as far South as the Inverness - Ullapool road excluding Ben Wyvis. Since the last edition of this guide, the number of routes has doubled and many new crags appear for the first time. Established venues such as Reiff, Ardmair and Sheigra and the mountains of Easter Ross, Coigach, Assynt and Foinaven have all been updated, anlong with Shetland and extensive developements on Orkney. 496 pages.

	Ben Nevis (SMC) Simon Richardson, Alastair Walker, Robin Clothier. By a happy coincidence of geology, altitude and location, Ben Nevis is not only the highest mountain in Britain, it also contains some of the finest climbing in the British Isles. The magnificant cliffs of the north-east face are alpine in stature and offer mountaineering on a grand scale. It is in winter though that the mountain really comes into its own. By virtue of its height and position, it is exposed to the full force of Atlantic weather systems. This allows ice to build rapidly, and combined with the superbly articulated character of the mountain's great ridges and gullies produces a winter climbing ground without equal in the country. This guide gives a comprehensive list of summer and winter climbs on the Ben and surounding mountains. Areas covered:--- Ben Nevis, The Mamores & Aonachs, Creag Meagaidh, and the Central Highlands, 350 pages. Price: £21.00
