Lake District Rock;
Selected Rock Climbs in the English Lake District (2003)
Out Now!
This new FRCC guidebook takes the best rock climbs in the English Lake
District and presents them in a fresh new format. More than 500 classic rock
climbs on 64 superb crags are described. The choice of routes covers the full
grade spectrum from Difficult to E8, with the majority of climbing in the
popular VS to E2 range. Classic high mountain venues such as Scafell, Dow,
Gimmer and Pillar Rock, low-lying outcrops including Shepherd's Crag, Castle
Rock, Raven Crag and Wallowbarrow, and good wet weather alternatives like St
Bees, Armathwaite, and Chapel Head (none of them previously covered in an FRCC
Guide), together with information on Bouldering, Crags for Groups, Climbing
Walls and Accommodation, are all ruggedly bound together in a hand pocket-sized
format. The FRCC no longer sends guidebooks out directly to customers. However
its guides are widely available from many technical climbing shops throughout
the UK. Some of the better known Lake District ones which offer an internet mail
order service include:
The Climbers' Shop and
Rock + Run
in Ambleside
George Fisher and
Needle
Sports in Keswick
Dove Crag North Buttress Special Report.
