A huge new book covering the superb climbing in the south west of England. This is a full Rockfax book, with lavish colour illustrations and some amazing photo-topos.

Areas Covered
Avon and Somerset, North Devon, The Culm, Atlantic Coast, Inland Cornwall, West Penwith, The Lizard, Inland Devon, Torbay, Dorset.

This is a very popular and vast area and one which Rockfax users have been requesting for many years. Brings together 7 other guidebooks into one cover. Highlights a number of great crags that have never been popular due to low-star count in the BMC guides, and not featuring in the selected guide.

The book covers around 800 of the West Country's most popular and highest calibre climbs, which span the full spectrum of climbing styles and grades; from committing multi-pitch sea cliff routes, to easy-going inland sport climbs.

West Country Climbs is a major new Rockfax guide to one of the UK’s most celebrated, sunny and diverse climbing regions. The book is fashioned in Rockfax’s award-winning layout and design, and copiously illustrated with action photographs of the climbs and cliffs that reflect the quality and variety of climbing experiences to be had on offer in the UK’s most popular holiday destination - the West Country. Many of these cliffs have never been illustrated so clearly before and this book has some of the best crag photographs ever taken.

The book covers around 900 of the West Country’s most popular and highest calibre climbs, which span the full spectrum of climbing styles and grades; from committing multi-pitch sea cliff routes, to easy-going inland sport climbs. The rock ranges from the moorland and sea cliff granites of Dartmoor and West Penwith, through the geological weirdness of North Devon and Cornwall, to the multitude of limestone’s on parade in Devon, Somerset, Avon and Dorset.

West Country Climbs is an essential reference book to the climbing available in the region. The guidebook appeals to the holidaying or regular visitor to the West Country whilst also offering a vast amount of up-to-date and inspirational coverage for the local climber.

Format - The book is A5 in size and produced in the same style and layout of the award-winning Lofoten and Western Grit books.
