Definitive collection of books for anyone trad or sport climbing in the Forest of Dean or Wye Valley

This is the twenty-first UK climbing guide either written, compiled or edited by Gary Gibson. Each copy is signed by the author. This is an up to date topo guide to Harpur Hill in Derbyshire with 333 routes and twenty two topos. The publication includes an original line drawing of Papacy Buttress by Malc Baxter and was designed by Tim Hoddy.

Langdale is without a doubt one of the finest of the Lakeland valleys and is easily reached from the M6 motorway; the climber is well catered for with pubs, cafes and campsites. One downside of its popularity with walkers and climbers is that its car parks tend to fill up very quickly on a sunny morning. As a large proportion of the crags facing south the valley is an all year round venue.

With a variety of crags and easy access all this is possible in the Peak area. The main attractions are the extensive gritstone crags that stretch from Wimberry in the northwest, through the eastern edges and the central grit crags, and on to Staffordshire.
