About the Author

Steve Kew made his first solo climb at the age of 10 in the Lake District when he pioneered an interesting route from his campsite in Grasmere to the summit of Helm Crag; he has been hooked on mountains ever since. He attended a beginners’ rock climbing course in 1970 and immediately returned to do the intermediate and advanced courses. Since then he has climbed and walked extensively throughout Britain; in the Alps he has done many of the classic 4000m peaks such as the Matterhorn, Nadelgrat and Monte Rosa traverse and has trekked and climbed in the Nepal Himalayas and the Karakoram amongst many other places. For many years he lived in southwest Scotland where he was a member of the Galloway Mountain Rescue Team. He was chairman of the Mountain Rescue Team and of the Stewartry Mountaineering Club, helped to run the Newton Stewart Walking Festival and sat on the Southwest Access Forum and the Forest Panel. His previous writing includes three other books, many articles for newspapers and magazines and radio drama for the BBC.
