Snowdonia: Mountain Walks and Scrambles (ROCKFAX) by Mark Reeves

'Back in the days when I was a weekend warrior who thrived on walking, scrambling and low grade rock and winter climbing this would have been my bible; it is inspiring, educational and aesthetically beautiful. I can see myself dipping in and out of it for many years to come.' UKClimbing This new book by Mark Reeves covers all the best mountain walks and scrambles in and around the Snowdonia area. The coverage is done in full Rockfax style with big overview photos, precise route descriptions and detailed maps. It also has an extensive introduction covering some of the basic skills required for scrambling, route planning and navigation. The walks start from basic routes up to the summit of Snowdon like the Llanberis Path. The main information is focussed on the multitude of scrambling possibilities which range from long link-ups like the Snowdon Horshoe, steady ridges like Bristly Ridge and full rock climbs like Grooved Arete on the East Face of Tryfan. The walks are covered with a map, description and sometimes an overview photograph. The scrambles mostly have detailed overview photographs, descriptions and approach maps. The harder scrambles and climbs all have detailed description and photo topos.

Mark has been a rock climbing instructor since 1997, working throughout the length and bredth of North Wales. In 2005 Mark completed the Mountain Instructor Award whilst working for Plas Y Brenin and has been a freelance/associate Instructor for them ever since. Mark has sought to develop his coaching to the highest level through various forms of Continuing Professional Development, including BMC Fundamentals and Learning to Train courses, Plas Y Brenin’s Coaching Processes course and finally completing an MSc in Applied Sports Science at Bangor University. This book brings together all the academic, practical and personal skills he has developed over the last thirteen years as both a climber and coach; climbing routes of all different styles ranging from Diff to E5 in over ten countries. In essence this book is a shortcut to all Mark’s accrued knowledge over his long and successful professional and personal climbing career. Mark is the sometimes outspoken author of the blog Life in the Vertical.
