Pembroke (1995)

Although the sixth guidebook ROCKFAX produced this was in many ways the one which ‘broke the traditional mould’ with regard to guidebooks in Britain. Up to 1995 ROCKFAX publications had mainly covered sport climbing areas like Yorkshire, Peak and North Wales Limestone, and Portland. This book was the first to stray into an exclusively trad climbing area and was published to resounding cries of doom and destruction from the traditional guidebook producing establishment. The book sold out in the summer of 2005 after 10 years on the shelves.
