If you are thinking of climbing in the Cuillins this book is the best source of information. It is in an easy pocket size and jam packed full of all the details and diagrams you will need for your adventure. An absolute must buy.
The latest edition of the book that brought Munro bagging to an unwary world includes the changes introduced in the 1997 revision of the Tables. It therefore gives routes up all 284 separate 3000ft+ mountains in Scotland. An essential reference book.
The companion volume to "The Munros" shows routes up every 2500ft+ Corbett, and also includes a selection of smaller but still very interesting mountains in Scotland. In many ways even more valuable than the original "Munros" book because these hills get much less coverage elsewhere.
Do you want to know about the history of the Munros; about early Munroists; about the detail of the debate about what does or does not make a "separate mountain"; or just read about the great names of early Scottish climbing going out ill-equipped and getting lost just like ordinary mortals? If so, then this truly excellent book is for you.
This guidebook covers an area extending from Stob Ghabhar in the Blackmount in the north, to the crags of the Mull of Kintyre in the south.
This definitive history of the mountain puts Ben Nevis in perspective as one of the great climbing mountains of the world, with a seriousness out of all proportion to its height in metres above sea-level.
This SMC climbing guide covers the area of the Central Highlands north of Glen Coe and south of the Great Glen.
The SMC climbing guide to Glencoe also covers Glen Etive and Ardgour.
A wonderful book for anyone who wondered about the origin of the name of the mountain they've just climbed: or haven't for that matter.
Since their original publication, Munro's Tables have been through a number of revisions. The latest was marked by the publication of this edition in 1997 and increased the number of Munros to 284. This book contains a great deal more than the Munro tables and is fascinating background for those driech days when you just don't fancy climbing for real.
