Hamish MacInnes: Fox of Glencoe
Hamish MacInnes was born in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland in 1930. A legend in the field of mountaineering, he pioneered many of Scotland's most challenging climbs and numerous testpiece routes overseas. As well as founding both the Search and Rescue Dog Association and the Glencoe Mountain Rescue Team, Hamish's revolutionary MacInnes Stretcher is still used worldwide, and his all-metal ice axe was a game-changer for modern alpinism. He was also a prolific author, publishing 26 books, including the seminal International Mountain Rescue Handbook (1972) and the classic Call Out (1973), in which he recalled his experiences with the Glencoe Mountain Rescue team. The Scottish Mountaineering Press are delighted to be publishing The Fox of Glencoe, a collection of unseen and retold memoirs from Hamish MacInnes.

Book Book Extract: Harold Raeburn - The Steps of a Giant
Harold Raeburn's climbing achievements in the Edwardian era were as impressive as those of Murray, Patey, or MacInnes in later periods. We might even think of these greats as standing on Raeburn's shoulders, says Peter J Biggar, author of a new biography. This extract from the book hinges on his remarkable 1920 first winter ascent of Observatory Ridge, a climb that retains a bit of a reputation even a century later.
