is accurate, the publishers cannot be held

s I write this the first snow has fallen
here in the Alps, so it’s appropriate
that in this month’s issue we kick off
our winter coverage with a great day
out in Glencoe (p20) and a generous helping
of essential winter skills (p54). We’ll be
continuing the winter theme over the next
few issues with some great features on
winter walking and mountaineering in the
UK, winter climbing in the Alps and ski
touring/mountaineering – so make sure you
don’t miss an issue!
Elsewhere in this issue, we’ve been
enjoying some autumn hiking in New
England, where we visited three states in five
days to climb three great peaks (p30). We
relive epic adventures in Alaska with an
exclusive extract from Simon McCartney’s
award-winning book ‘The Bond’ (p64), and
we hear from young gun Tom Livingstone as
he describes climbing two of Chamonix’s
most epic routes (p70). Enjoy the issue!
