Northern Limestone : Yorkshire, Cumbria, Lancashire

The bulk of this edition of Northern Limestone is made up of the Yorkshire crags that were documented in the very first Rockfax (Yorkshire Limestone) by Mick Ryan in 1990. Nearly a quarter of a century on, many things have changed in the guidebook production world with full-colour topos, GPS and top-notch crag and action photography being standard – and things are about to progress further with the increasing availability of smartphone apps and links to online route information. Technology has conquered many obstacles but trees are proving a stubborn foe, and there are still a small number of crags that have required a hand-drawn topo. As with the previous edition of the book, this one covers almost all of the sport climbing developed in the area and a selection of the best traditional routes.
