  Describing each of Britain's 20 highest peaks in turn, this book offers walkers and climbers a choice of routes, so they can select the one most appropriate to their circumstances and the prevailing weather conditions. A wide variety of terrain and route is covered, from a simple walk on the smooth slopes of Skiddaw to an exacting adventure on the towering cliffs of Ben Nevis. An entire chapter is devoted to each mountain. Detailed relief maps show each peak and its approaches, and illustrations highlight interesting features and show the way over difficult or dangerous ground.
