This supplement updates the climbing information in the following FRCC Guidebook areas:
- Gable & Pillar (2007)
- Buttermere & St Bees (2008)

This supplement gives details of new routes, both summer and winter, in the Lake District, since the production of the above guides.
New guidebooks to Lake District Sports & Slate and Dow, Duddon & Eskdale are in advanced stages of preparation so these areas are not included in this supplement.
Many small new crags have been developed in Langdale and the various valleys of the Eastern Crags and while many of the routes are comparatively short they often offer quality climbing on good rock. Elsewhere the Ennerdale crags continue to give up some long gems to those willing to put in the effort to get to them while a handful of new routes have been added to other areas.
There are a lot of surprises included in the supplement with many stunning new routes, of all grades, as well as new crags throughout the Lake District.
New crags include – Castle Crag (Wythburn); Kirkstone Buttress and Kirkstone Upper Buttress (on side of Red Screes); Thrang Crag West and Upper Scout Crag (Langdale)
The supplement has approximately 70 pages, text in black and white with a number of coloured crag photo diagrams.
The price of the supplement is £5.
Available at climbing shops and climbing walls around the Lakes
