For the first time in recent history, the jewel of Scottish (possibly even British!) sea cliff climbing gets the SMC comprehensive guidebook treatment. Written by Rab Anderson, Kevin Howett and Colin Moody—driving forces in the development of climbing in the Islands—this guide provides the go-to resource for the Outer Hebrides. Their insight and local knowledge will help you plan your trip and get the most out of it when you're there.
Uninhabited islands, committing sea cliff adventures, seaside cragging, mountain cliffs and the mighty Sron Uladail—all in one book. The guide provides comprehensive coverage and photo diagrams to all the popular areas, as well as publishing for the first time tens of new future classic venues and hundreds of routes, capturing all of the development that has taken place in recent years. You'll also find information on areas still under development, with possibilities for new routes of your own.
With 2,500 routes from Moderate to E9, 28 detailed maps with access information, 177 photo diagrams covering all major cliffs (and then some), comprehensive logistical information, and inspiring action photos in full colour throughout, this guide caters for everyone—from hard-core climbers on dedicated trips to those wanting the option of a day or two out cragging whilst on a family holiday.
