He was a central figure in the rescue during the 1963 New Year tragedy in the <strong>Cuillins</strong> on the Isle of Skye, and led groundbreaking rescues on <strong>Buichaille Etive Mor</strong>, <strong>Ben Nevis</strong>, <strong>Bidean nam Bian</strong> and many other legendary Scottish mountains.</p> <p>At the heart of the stories in <em><strong>Call-out</strong></em> are the unique characters in the team and wider Glencoe community who demonstrate faultless camaraderie, and - by virtue of MacInnes's engaging storytelling - inject an almost comical slant into these sometimes-grim accounts of misadventure in the mountains.</p> <p>The dark allure of the frozen Scottish peaks provides a foreboding backdrop against which we learn of Hamish MacInnes's concern for human life under even the most extreme conditions. <em><strong>Call-out</strong></em> offers an inspiring portrayal of responsible and dedicated mountaineering practice, which is as pertinent today as ever.</p>
