Lake
District Rock
Selected Rock Climbs in the English Lake District
(2003)
by
Members of the FRCC Guidebooks Committee
Edited by
Stephen Reid
ISBN: 0-85028-045-1
|
This new FRCC guidebook takes the best rock climbs in the English
Lake District and presents them in a fresh new format.
Fully revised and updated maps to help you find the crags. Detailed
colour topo-diagrams to help you find the routes.
More than 500 classic rock climbs on 64 superb crags are described.
The choice of routes covers the full grade spectrum from Difficult
to E8, with the majority of climbing in the popular VS to E2
range. Classic high mountain venues such as Scafell, Dow, Gimmer
and Pillar Rock, low-lying outcrops including Shepherd's Crag,
Castle Rock, Raven Crag and Wallowbarrow, and good wet weather
alternatives like St Bees, Armathwaite, and Chapel Head (none
of them previously covered in an FRCC Guide), together with
information on Bouldering, Crags for Groups, Climbing Walls
and Accommodation, are all ruggedly bound together in a handy
pocket-sized format. |

Lakeland
Book of the Year Awards 2004 - Titus Wilson Prize
Lake
District Rock has won the Titus Wilson Prize for guidebooks
in the prestigious Lakeland Book of the year Awards 2004
hosted by the Cumbria Tourist Board and Hunter Davies.
The
photo shows from left to right, Guidebooks Secretary Ron
Kenyon, Editor Stephen Reid, and Photographs Editor Nick
Wharton, at the award ceremony at the Inn by the Lake,
Ullswater (food highly recommended).
The award is very apt, as the late Oliver Turnbull, for
many years owner of Titus Wilson's Printers and Publishers
of Kendal, took the photo of the Editor on Eliminate A
on Dow Crag (p114) and also appears (anonymously) as the
figure admiring the sun setting over Wasdale on page 21.
