From Ken Crocket, author of Mountaineering in ScotlandThe Early Years, comes the next instalment of Scottish mountaineering history, covering the period from 1914 to 1971 when there were many changes in the equipment and practice of summer and winter climbing and a significant rise in the difficulty of routes being established. Many new clubs were formed, and the number of participants increased dramatically. The book contains reference to the exploits of many well-known mountaineers who were responsible for raising the standards in Scottish climbing, including Murray, Patey, Marshall and Smith.
