Winter Climbs in North Wales

Cicerone Press

<p>Stories of pipe-smoking's greatest craftspeople intertwine with advice and commentary in these essays on the art of pipe smoking. While exploring pipe craftsmanship worldwide, these writings combine tales of the author's visits to Europe's most prestigious pipe-makers with a look at pipe-smoking's history and the hobby's most famous practitioners, including Albert Einstein, Norman Rockwell, and Mark Twain. Interviews with Old World craftspeople provide insight into the delicate and personal craft of pipe-making, and a treatise on pipe-smoking's relaxing benefits intermingles with advice on how to smoke, buy, break in, clean, and use a pipe to cope with the frantic pace of the 21st century. Includes a 16 page color photo insert.</p>

<p>This little guide is meant to complement the existing guides to the area, offering a different approach to the route descriptions. Topos are great but occasionally one word is worth a thousand pictures. English style route notes can save precious holiday time in pinpointing abseils, locating starts, unusual pitches, and quality. It is written especially for those who are first-time visitors to the area. All the route descriptions were written immediately after an ascent and most rely on a consensus achieved by discussion concerning several such ascents.</p>
