On the summit ridge of Bidean nam Bian, Glencoe
Welcome to Northern Edge Books – independently produced mountain guidebooks.
Some Easy Climbs
A collection of easy climbs in nice places, across Scotland, England and Wales – over a hundred routes graded between Difficult and Hard Severe, in sixty stunning mountain, moorland and coastal locations.
In essence, this is a book about places as much as climbs; it’s about journeys into the hills, climbing by the sea, wild mountain plateaux, soaring ridges, secluded wooded valleys and missions far from the road.
Scotland’s Winter Mountains with one axe
A guide to thirty journeys through the Scottish mountains – journeys that can be done with a single axe, in a traditional mountaineering style. All are easily accessible and possible to complete within a winter’s day.
All the classic mountaineering ridges are included, such as An Teallach, Liathach and the Aonach Eagach, along with the big gullies of the Northwest.
The book also features a handful of easier journeys, which provide a nice step-up from winter walking.
North Wales Scrambles
A pocket guidebook containing 50 of the best mountain scrambles in Snowdonia/Eryri – from short scrambles near to the road, through to day-length journeys that weave across Snowdonia’s rugged landscape.
All the well-known classic scrambles of the area are included, such as the North Ridge of Tryfan and the traverse of Crib Goch. The book also features a selection of excellent ‘off the beaten track’ scrambles – routes that will take you to the less-frequented cliffs and cwms of Snowdonia.
