Adrian Hendroff, who has completed all 268 Irish summits over 600m based on the Vandeleur-Lynam list, is set to release his first major book later this year. Entitled, From High Places: A Journey Through Ireland's Great Mountains, the book is a collection of stunning images taken from Ireland’s high places from the quartzite giants of Connemara to the towering peaks of Kerry. 

In addition to these images, the author describes his own unique experiences exploring these mountain areas and interweaves them with an account of the local history, folklore and geology.

Adrian, a qualified Mountain Leader, has regularly contributed to Irish Mountain Log magazine of Mountaineering Ireland. His articles have also appeared in TGO Magazine and The Irish Times Go. “Ireland’s mountains are wild and untrodden, a treasure chest just waiting to be discovered” he says. “There is a powerful and magnetic quality to be experienced there, always drawing me back. The book is a celebration of our mountains and my hope is that more people, both local and foreign, young and old will set out and explore them.” Adrian has also explored mountain ranges in Scotland, Wales, England, Romania and Iceland, along with the Alps and the Dolomites, but he thinks of the Irish mountains as home.
