Abstract: A magnificently illustrated volume of immense depth (not to mention size!) detailing the history of climbing on the Scafell crags from the earliest exploration to the present day. In 1874 George Seatree and Stanley Martin made the first ascent of North Climb, which was the first time the main face of Scafell had been ascended outside of the obvious gully lines. It was the start of great things on the crags of Scafell. Upon hearing their report of this new route, Will Ritson, landlord of the Huntsman’s Inn, looked at them incredulously, and declared in his usual broad Cumbrian dialect, "Nowt but a fleein’ thing could git up’t crags on’t Wasdale Head side". This book covers the full 200 year history of climbing on the crags of Scafell in both summer and winter conditions, in an extensive and comprehensive manner. Every route on the crag has been noted with the significant ascents being described in detail, and the entire book has been comprehensively illustrated by photographs from archive and newly commissioned work. A significant proportion of the source material has come from recordings made of the pioneers of these climbs that has never been published before. There is also an intricate explanation of the geological features which go to make up these crags as well as new maps and crag diagrams together with notes on conditions, biographies of past climbers and a comprehensive first ascent list that combines both summer and winter climbing for the first time. This book has been produced by members of the Fell and Rock Climbing Club and it is one of the most detailed compilations of rock climbing history to a single mountain crag in Britain. The Fell & Rock Climbing Club is the premier rock climbing and mountaineering club in the English Lake District. The Club was founded in 1906-07 and has been publishing a definitive series of climbing guidebooks to the Lakes since 1922.

Abstract: Until the 1980s, Kananaskis Country, the Bow Valley and Canmore were places most people drove past on their way to Ban National Park, Lake Louise, Jasper and points beyond. Today, Kananaskis Country gets more than three million visitors a year, and Canmore is a town twice the size of Banff. Encompassing a dizzying array of natural environments, from grasslands and foothills to deep mountain valleys and sweeping alpine vistas, Kananaskis Country and the Bow Valley attract visitors from around the world each year to this mountain paradise. Calgarians consider this landscape to be their backyard and they turn to it for recreation, solace and wilderness adventure. Where Rivers Meet will bring the beauty and wonder of this profound landscape and its wild creatures to visitors from around the world and local residents alike. This artistically designed coffee table book features over 200 black and white and colour images together with short essays and personal reflections on natural history, geology, the cultural background and the region’s communities, as well as the threats and solutions to development and social challenges found throughout Kananaskis Country and the Bow Valley.
