Review

An inspiring guidebook to 100 of the best mountaineering rock climbs in Britain, covering North Wales, the Lake District and Scotland.

Mountain Rock brings together some of the country's most famous multi-pitch routes to create the ultimate tick-list for the aspiring mountaineer. One hundred routes, all between Moderate and Very Severe, are described in pitch-by-pitch detail, along with clear, annotated topos, detailed maps and lots of background information.

The book is designed to be small enough and light enough to fit in a day sack lid, without compromising on content. Alongside full-page photo topos, it provides recommendations for handy campsites and good local pubs, as well as plenty of historical background outlining the role that these influential climbs played in the development of rock climbing as a sport in the UK.
