The crags are the tallest, steepest and most majestic anywhere in the British Isles. They are all situated in a high mountain environment, and always a good hike from the nearest road. A visit to any of these great crags is therefore a worthy end in itself. For those wishing to venture onto the crags, all the climbs described are highly adventurous, relying solely upon leader-placed protection. Many of the crags and climbs are described and illustrated here in detail for the very first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmong these pages are accounts of some of Scottish mountaineering’s greatest triumphs, but also accounts of necessary failures – chasing elusive conditions, knowing when to go down, when to return.

He has since climbed extensively across the UK and further afield, with first ascents in regions as diverse as Morocco, Jordan, the Alps, Norway, Peru and Kyrgyzstan, but his first love is exploratory winter climbing in Scotland.  He has an enduring passion for writing and storytelling in mountaineering, with a number of essays published previously in the \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScottish Mountaineering Club Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmerican Alpine Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, and UK-based climbing magazines.

In spite of a physique better suited to a middleweight boxer or navvy he has since managed a few respectable climbs and has enjoyed over 25 years exploring the Highlands and Islands, putting up the occasional first ascent in the process. Although he has climbed extensively elsewhere in the UK and Europe, he is still happiest roaming in the hills in his own backyard – on foot, or ski, or bike, or even swimming in the high lochains and kayaking in the rivers. Adrian works as a general practitioner and paediatrician and lives in Aberdeen with his wife Rachelle and their two children, Eilidh and Alasdair.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compiled by Guy Robertson and Adrian Crofton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eForeword:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andy Cave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eVertebrate Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-1-906148-89-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRights:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 November 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e First\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 310mm x 240mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExtent: \u003c\/strong\u003e312 pages, full colour throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimension: \u003c\/strong\u003e9.75\" wide by x 12.5\" tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e1900g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vertebrate Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41723035549850,"sku":"9781906148898","price":59.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/7310\/1978\/products\/gmcofscotlandofc485px.jpg?v=1778975577"},{"product_id":"the-climbing-bible","title":"The Climbing Bible","description":"\u003cp\u003eDe plus en plus de gens dans le monde découvrent à quel point l'escalade est formidable, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Climbing Bible\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e par les grimpeurs et entraîneurs de renommée internationale \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Mobråten\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eStian Christophersen\u003c\/strong\u003e est un guide complet pour vous aider à vous entraîner efficacement et à devenir un meilleur grimpeur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLes auteurs sont entraîneurs d'escalade depuis plusieurs années.

It doesn't contain any 'magic' training methods, because there are none - although you might be shocked by the science behind some popular methods.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex align-items-center mb-2 mb-lg-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first part explains what training is and how different training methods are governed by the physiological and biomechanical processes that occur in the body. The second part looks at how to improve specific needs (such as finger strength and forearm muscle endurance) and general needs (such as basic physical conditioning, pulling strength, pushing strength, strength training for injury prevention) for the different demands and types of climbing and bouldering. The third and final part suggests the best ways to fit it all together. It looks at adjusting training volume and intensity, and tapering to encourage super-compensation, all to help us achieve improved performance, whether it's breaking into a higher grade, ticking that long-standing project or climbing a dream route.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex align-items-center mb-2 mb-lg-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex align-items-center mb-2 mb-lg-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eSergio Consuegra Gomez\u003c\/b\u003e discovered climbing and mountain sports when he started university, and he graduated with a degree in sports science from UPM University in Madrid (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid). He went on to teach the mountain sports and activities module at UPM for several years. With a keen interest in strength training and the design of training programmes, Sergio is constantly rethinking traditional ideas and championing scientific evidence as the basis of any training plan. It is this approach to training that led him to write this book: focusing on the science behind climbing performance and training, as opposed to methods based solely on personal experience, to provide an evidence-based approach to training for climbing. He's currently the director of coaching at Indoor wall climbing centres and is also an active climbing coach. He lives in Jaca, Spain, where he can get out in the Pyrenees on a daily basis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex align-items-center mb-2 mb-lg-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Published by Vertebrate Publishing\u003cbr\u003e- Publication date: May 19, 2023\u003cbr\u003e- Author: Sergio Consuegra\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Language: English\u003cbr\u003e- Color: Yes\u003cbr\u003e- Pages: 200\u003cbr\u003e- Dimension: 210mm x 150mm\u003cbr\u003e- ISBN: 9781839811708 \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vertebrate Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43690853761178,"sku":"9781839811821","price":42.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/7310\/1978\/files\/vertebrate-publishing-the-science-of-climbing-training-s001-lxxxxxxx.jpg?v=1791652220"},{"product_id":"mon-blanc-lines","title":"Mont Blanc Lines","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMont Blanc Lines\u003c\/i\u003e, photographer and alpinist Alex Buisse has travelled the \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMont Blanc massif\u003c\/b\u003e to capture images of all the major mountain faces and to trace the classic climbing and skiing lines.

He has travelled the world as a professional photographer and has worked for many prestigious clients, including Patagonia, BMW, Red Bull, VISA, the International Olympic Committee, Sports Illustrated andGEO magazine. He lived and worked as a professional photographer in Chamonix for over a decade and has climbed, skied and flown all over the Mont Blanc massif - Mont Blanc Lines is the culmination of this work. He now lives in Canmore, Alberta, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, with his wife and two children, but misses Chamonix too much to stay away for long, frequently travelling back to the French Alps.
