Essays on lone trips, mountain-craft and other hill topics

Book Description
This book begins with a thought-provoking article now reprinted, criticising the increasing influence of politically-correct organisations and politicians who desire to control freewill and mountaineering. Then comes a chapter with a critique of several writers on the Cairngorms in comparison with the original Seton Gordon. After the author published a review in 1977 on ‘The wildlife potential of the Cairngorms region’, he came under unwarranted attack by two influential private landowners who misrepresented what he wrote and even included a threat. A wider public should be aware of this. There follows an essay on biologist Professor Vero C. Wynne-Edwards, and another on the history of the research station near Banchory, established for studying at first red grouse and then ecological problems of mountain, moorland, woodland and fresh-water. The last chapter – the most important one and occupying a third of the book – gives the author’s lifetime view of the value of lone trips in climbing, ski-mountaineering and mountain-craft.

Book Description
"Mountain Craft" written by Various and edited by Geoffrey Winthrop Young was a seminal piece of reference material for climbers in the 1900s. Unlike many mountain books at the time, this wasn't meant to be a climbing guide. It was meant to teach you all about mountaineering. It was written and edited with a passion for the activity and it resonates with other such adventurous souls.
