Rockfax Guides
There are three Rockfax books that complement the coverage in
this one. With all four books you will have all the best climbing over
the whole Peak area (gritstone, limestone and bouldering) plus you
get Lancashire and Merseyside thrown in!
Peak Bouldering (2014)
The Peak Bouldering Rockfax is a massive book covering a huge
area, including all the main bouldering venues of the Peak District.
Some have said that if you wrapped a bit of padding around it,
you would have an extra bouldering mat! It includes many more
low-grade problems than have ever been documented before,
including 17 circuits with problems at
f4+
and under, and a further
21 circuits with problems at
f5+
and below. The book uses 'V'
grades and Font grades, plus UK technical grades for easier
problems.
There is some overlap with this Eastern Grit book for the bouldering
which is on, or very close to, the main edges. In these cases the
problems are covered in both books. In other places references
have been included this book pointing to bouldering areas given full
coverage in the Peak Bouldering book.
Peak Limestone (2012)
The first single-volume guidebook to Peak Limestone to have hit
the shelves since 1992. The book includes detailed coverage of the
classic venues of Stoney, Cheedale and Water-cum-Jolly and the
southern crags around Matlock, Dovedale and the Manifold, plus
the ever popular sport climbs in the many bolted quarries.
Western Grit (2009)
The most recent edition of the original award-winning 2003 Western
Grit guidebook. It ranges from the popular Staffordshire gritstone
edges of the Roaches, Hen Cloud and Ramshaw up onto the
remote Kinder and Bleaklow moorland crags. Also included are the
superb Chew Valley edges, the best of the Lancashire crags and
the fine sandstone buttress of Helsby, Pex Hill and Frodsham in
Merseyside.

Guidebook Footnote
The inclusion of a climbing area in this guidebook does not mean that you have a right of access or the
right to climb upon it. The descriptions of problems within this guide are recorded for historical reasons
only and no reliance should be placed on the accuracy of the description. The grades set in this guide are
a fair assessment of the difficulty of the problems. Climbers who attempt a problem of a particular standard
should use their own judgment as to whether they are proficient enough to tackle that route. This book is
not a substitute for experience and proper judgment. The authors, publisher and distributors of this book
do not recognise any liability for injury or damage caused to, or by, climbers, third parties, or property
arising from such persons seeking reliance on this guidebook as an assurance for their own safety.
