About the Author

Steve Ashton began climbing in 1969 in the Lancashire quarries, wearing hiking boots and ‘protected’ by a tow rope retrieved from a council tip. Within two years, he was grappling with grade VI routes in the Dolomites and narrowly surviving stormbound bivouacs.

While living in Snowdonia, he wrote regularly for the outdoor press and later produced numerous guidebooks and instructional manuals on climbing and hill walking. The first of these – Scrambles in Snowdonia – helped revive this neglected facet of mountaineering and introduced the now ubiquitous grading system.

After retiring from mountain writing, he spent several years as an actor and playwright before turning to fiction.
