August 2018 Update
Climb If You Will
This extraordinary book was written and published by Oread Mountaineering Club Members and published in 1974.
It celebrates the life of Geoff Hayes, a popular and inspirational club member, who was killed in a climbing accident on Dow Crag in 1971.
It is now proudly published in digital form on the club website. We hope you find it readable
Thanks to Philip Marsden at digitisemybooks.co.uk for the non-destructive scanning of my copy, and his supply of versions in several data formats as Word and PDF documents. His advice on juggling less readable parts between Adobe Acrobat and Word were invaluable.
It meant lots of proof reading, and re-typing, but has produced what is felt to be a good result..
A great deal of club history can be found within its pages, We hope old and new members will enjoy reading it, either again, or for the first time.
