 Ben Nevis
This is the history of a mountain whose global status far outstrips it's altitude; a story of climbers, poets, geologists, map makers and pioneering meteorologists. The new edition of this inspiring chronicle of The Ben's stories and those who have made them is a beautiful and evocative book. A big step up from the previous edition with the inclusion of a wealth of stunning and highly interesting photography that really brings the stories alive, and right up to date.
The history of Ben Nevis is charted from the earliest travellers in 1585 through to the first ascent of Echo Wall in July 2008. A fascinating journey through the eras of development in attitudes and approaches to using, travelling on and enjoying the mountain.
As well as bringing the history up to date, the new edition draws from the collections of professional climbing photograpers such as Dave Cuthbertson and Ian Parnell, as well as a raft of others - testament to the rigorous and passionate research of authors Ken Crocket and Simon Richardson.
This is a beautiful and inspiring book to own for anyone who has or will one day venture onto Ben Nevis.
