ISBN:0-85028-033-8

A traditional area overlooking the Wastwater Hotel, the spiritual home of Lakeland climbing in the late 1800's, contains a mixture of high mountain crags, in superb locations. Major crags include Gable, Kern Knotts, Tophet Wall, The Napes including Napes Needle and Pillar Rock. A wide range of routes and grades to suit all.

This guide is now out of print. Its replacement, provisionally titled "Western Crags - Gable, Pillar, Buttermere & St Bees" is due to be published in the Summer of 2007. Meanwhile there is a good selection of routes in these areas available in the FRCC selected guide "Lake District Rock".
