Pembroke North – volume 1 – but fourth to appear – covers the area from Ceredigeon in the north (slightly outside the county!) to Milford Haven. The variety and quality of the climbing on offer beautifully compliments the stunning scenery. Traditional climbing remains the main focus with the classic crags, Carey-y-Barcud, Porthclais, and Caerfai rightly taking pride of place, although St David’s Head is now given the prominence it deserves.

Pembroke Range West – volume 2 – is the last in the definitive series (but by Range West devotees is not viewed as the least). As the name suggests it covers the part of Castlemartin Range extending westwards from Stack Rocks car park.

The variety of crags, routes, and climbing styles is unparalleled, encompassing the major mountain crags of Llanberis Pass, Cloggy, Ogwen, Moelwyns, and the Carneddau, as well as the Llanberis Slate quarries, Tremadog, Mid-Wales, Gogarth, and the Ormes of Llandudno.
