Unjustifiable Risk? The Story of British Climbing

Unjustifiable Risk? is a fascinating new book that tells the story of the social, economic and cultural conditions that gave rise to the sport, and the achievements and motives of those that have shaped its development.

It’s the first attempt for several decades to compress nearly two hundred years of British rock climbing and mountaineering history, at home and abroad, into a single volume. It's a great read, or would make an ideal for that hard-to-buy-for person.

 

Cicerone sponsors Mountain Safety leaflet for the Lake District Fells

How to stay safe and enjoy the fells is a new initiative in cooperation with the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association. The leaflet gives concise and practical advice on
• skills to develop
• what to take with you
• preparations before going out
• awareness on the fells
and a clear checklist and instructions for calling out the Mountain Rescue teams if things go badly wrong.

Widely available throughout the Lake District, it's hoped that the leaflet will help inexperienced hillwalkers and tourists to be more prepared and aware while in the hills, and reduce the number of largely unnecessary call-outs.

Download a pdf of the leaflet today, and put it in your rucksack!
