The Essential Guide To British Bouldering.

A guide to the climbing on the south side of the A5, based around the ever-popular Tryfan and Cwm Idwal areas, including some 140 new routes climbed since the last guide, and many ‘rediscovered’ older climbs.

From the Brecon Beacons through The Valleys and onto the Coast, this guide contains 1500 of the best routes in South Wales. Featuring trad routes, bouldering and Deep Water Solos.

Covering 39 crags in nine distinct areas, including the ever popular main Tremadog cliffs; Craig y Gesail, Craig y Castell, Craig Pant Ifan, and Craig Bwlch y Moch, the new definitive Tremadog guidebook by Steve Long (2010) is a complete modern revision incorporating a number of new and colourful aids to help climbers select their climbing adventures.

From the team that published the hugely popular North Wales Rock comes this new guide, Gogarth North. The sea cliffs of Gogarth are situated on the western tip of Anglesey and provide an impressive range if exciting ‘trad’ routes - the guide describes 600 routes complimented by full colour photo-diagrams; there are extensive area maps and individual crag approach maps as well as a great selection of action shots and an in depth historical section.

The highly anticipated 3rd edition of the North Wales Bouldering bible, now in 2 volumes, volume 1 is a whopping 704 pages of problems, topos and colour photos.

No other bouldering location in the UK offers such a fine range of classic limestone test pieces - in fact it could be argued there is nowhere in Europe with such a high concentration of hard problems. This new guide describes over 100 problems and links with a grade range of V3/6a+ - V14/8b+, it features colour topos, an approach map and over 20 inspiring and illustrative action shots.

The Clwyd Limestone covers all of the sport and trad climbing in the area, including 250 new routes. It offers some fantastic climbing and is often a stop-off point for people heading to North Wales.

This is the first full guide to the North Wales Slate.

South Wales Sport covers the area to the south of the Brecon Beacons, spanning the land and sea cliffs from the River Wye on the Welsh border to Pembrokeshire in the west.
