Hardback. Dustjacket. Both in Very Good condition. This copy is part of a Limited Edition of 500 copies of which this is Numbered 265. Signed by the Author. There is also a previous owner's signature to the front endpaper. 255 Pages. Dark blue boards with gilt image of Helyg embossed to front . Dustjacket is slightly rubbed with some faint foxing.There are many illustrations. Helyg - the Climbers' Club cottage in the Ogwen valley (near Capel Curig, North Wales) was the first successful climbers' hut in Britain. After its discovery by Herbert Carr ( author of the classic Mountains of Snowdonia 1926) the eventual opening in 1925 was a momentous occasion for British climbing - although at the time its importance was not appreciated. For over twenty years after the opening, the leading rock-climbers of the day explored the cliffs of North Wales using Helyg as a base and sixty years later many of the older climbers of today still regard Helyg with great affection and nostalgia. The book to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Helyg includes the writings of many of the most famous climbers of the era between two world wars when a generation of determined climbers, including Pigott, Longland, Waller, Kirkus and Edwards began to make the first tentative steps onto the most steep and intimidating cliffs of Snowdonia. Although of an historical nature this book is not merely a factual account of rock climbs - instead it portrays the very spirit of the men who went out in all weathers to seek comradeship in the heart of the Snowdonia mountains.
