Free Downloads, not free bolts!

These PDF mini-guidebooks are available to download for free as a service to the climbing community. However, the bolts and equipment you use cost. Once upon a time mini-guides were paper and sold in shops and the income generated went directly to the Bolt Funds. Now they are electronic and shared widely. So please consider donating to The Cumbria Bolt Fund to help develop new climbs and improve existing routes and equipment.

WARNING: Climbing is a dangerous activity that carries a risk of injury or death. You climb at your own risk. You are the sole judge of conditions. You take responsibility for your own actions. The information in these guides is derived from comments and route descriptions contributed by climbers to the FRCC website and other sources, often after the first ascent. Many crags and climbs are new or recent – descriptions, grades, rock quality, fixed gear, access and all other content may not have been checked, cannot be relied upon and you should use it with caution. Do not presume that any of this material is accurate. Neither the publisher nor anyone involved in the publication of this information can be held responsible for omissions, mistakes, nor held liable for any personal or third party injuries or damage, howsoever caused, arising from its use.

BMC Participation Statement: The British Mountaineering Council recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement.
