A guidebook presenting 70 routes visiting 143 of Scotland's 282 Munros (mountains over 3000ft). Covering the northern Highlands and the Isle of Skye, the hikes require good fitness and navigation skills plus experience in remote mountainous terrain: while many are straightforward ascents, some involve scrambling, rock climbing and river crossings.

The routes range from 7 to 46km (4–29 miles), with the option to reduce walking distance on some of the longer routes by cycling the approach.
