A Cicerone guide to the major climbing areas in the Cairngorms which provide some of the finest winter climbing in Britain.
From the remote corries of Braeriach and Beinn a'Bhuird, to the magnificent cliffs of Lochnagar and Creag an Dubh Loch and the readily accessible Northern Corries of Cairngorm, every aspect of winter climbing is to be found. There are long, varied routes and short technical test-pieces; there are pure ice climbs and buttress and mixed routes to rival any in the country. Building on previous editions of the guide, this edition tries to make a selection of the best routes in each area. Where possible, a selection of routes of all grades has been given.
All routes are graded according to the standard two-tier system, and a 3 star system is employed to indicate quality.
