Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively details the challenging climbs, rewarding views, and rich history of the picturesque mountains of Wales and Ireland, focusing on those beyond the English peaks, such as Cader Idris, the Arans, and the Rhinogs. While the ascent of Snowdon via Llanberis may be the most popular choice, the author argues that starting from the lesser-known starting point of Beddgelert will lead to a more enjoyable experience. Historical accounts from the 17th century onwards provide valuable insights into the changing perceptions and approaches to mountaineering in the region, highlighting the shift from seeing these mountains as obstacles to be overcome, to appreciating them as destinations for recreation and wonder. Overall, this guidebook not only arms the reader with practical information for planning their own mountain adventures but also offers a fascinating perspective on the cultural significance of these iconic landscapes.
