Fell and Rock Climbing Club
At Up and Under in Cardiff, UK, we stock a comprehensive range of guidebooks from The Fell & Rock Climbing Club (FRCC), including essential climbing guides for the Lake District and surrounding areas. These definitive guides are invaluable resources for anyone exploring the iconic climbing and walking routes of the UK's most celebrated fells.
The Fell & Rock Climbing Club, founded in 1906, has a rich history of encouraging fell walking and rock climbing, particularly in the English Lake District. Uniquely, the club has always welcomed both men and women, as well as both walkers and climbers, into its now 1,100-strong membership. FRCC Guides stands as the leading publisher of rock climbing guides for the Lake District, offering meticulously detailed and updated information.
By purchasing FRCC guidebooks you directly contribute to the vital FRCC Access and Conservation Fund. The Club dedicates 5% of its net sales income to this fund, which provides grants for projects improving access and supporting conservation efforts in the Lake District. This includes crucial work like maintaining fixed climbing equipment (often via the Cumbria Bolt Fund) and upholding path integrity, directly benefiting the climbing and outdoor community.

Langdale
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.
