FRCC Rock Climbing Guidebooks
FRCC has produced pocket climbing guidebooks to the Lakes for a century, the first (Doe/Dow Crag) was produced in 1922 and a further four titles, produced between 1922 and 1926, completed coverage of the district. These became known as the Red Guides owing to their distinctive soft red leatherette covers. Copies of them can be viewed in the Archive section of the website
The Climbing Archive
The Climbing Archive contains the details of routes not included in most recent edition of the guidebook for that area.
Quote from the guidebook introductory sections “Poor and overgrown routes and, in some cases, entire crags have been omitted from this guide and descriptions placed in the Archive section of the FRCC website.”
