Glossary of terms started

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Cameron Speirs

A number of you have enquired if it would be possible for me to include a glossary of terms for some of the “technical” mountaineering terms as well as some of the less familiar geological, Scottish and Gaelic words. I’ve begun this process and you will now see a few terms with hyperlinks in each of the blog postings. I’ll try to add more terms as I go along, however, if you come across a word or phrase that may be unfamiliar to you and you think would warrant explanation via the glossary then please post me a comment and I’ll update accordingly.
