Over the years I have published a number of articles on the popular UKClimbing.com website. My latest, simply entitled “The Only Genuine Jones”, is an exclusive extract from my book (a scene from Chapter 6, to be precise). In the extract we see how Jones and Elspeth attempt a difficult new route on Ben Nevis sixty years before its true first ascent.
