• It has over 670 routes; everything from trad routes and sport climbs to sea cliffs.
• It comes in a handy pocket size, but is packed full of detail.
• There’s maps showing the position of the crags and clear, full colour photographs illustrating the climbing routes.
• Each crag features a nice introduction and a quick-view of the grades available.
• Each crag has a description of its aspect, altitude and rock type.
• There’s a grid ref for every crag.
• Each climb features a grade, length and description of each pitch.

Overall this climbing book has real quality feel to it. The routes look fantastic (especially those big multi-pitch routes), and the climbing pictures are really inspirational.

At a touch under £25 it isn’t the cheapest book, but I still feel it represents good value for money, and it’s probably the only North Wales climbing book you’ll ever need. To save you the bother of looking for it, there’s a copy right here: North Wales Rock

I simply cannot wait to get over to North Wales and climb some of the routes featured in this book. If you get a copy, let me know what routes you climb, I would love to hear about them.
