Cairngorms: 100 Years of Mountaineering

This is an illustrated history from the Scottish Mountaineering Trust of the first 100 years of mountaineering in The Cairngorms - one of the most popular and most famous climbing areas in the UK. Following on from the successful and much lauded Ben Nevis - Britain's Highest Mountain, this is the second important book from the Scottish Mountaineering Trust to document the history of Scottish mountaineering. The Cairngorms - 100 Years of Mountaineering is a comprehensive history which details climbing and mountaineering in the Cairngorms from 1893 to 1993, with a postscript highlighting some of the main developments since then. It is a tale of human endeavour played out among the remote corries and cliffs of Britain's premier mountain range.
