This is the third edition of the UK's best selling guidebook - Eastern Grit. Once again the book has been expanded with more coverage of the main cliffs and the inclusion of many of the minor venues that were left out last time round. It is now comes out at a massive 520 pages with over 4000 routes! All the cliffs have been rephotographed in glorious detail, every page has been redesigned and all the descriptions and grades have been checked against the UKClimbing databases. The book includes a superb set of inspiring action photographs from some renown photographers plus a plethora of graded lists. It is full of the kind of intimate knowledge that only comes from many years of climbing on these superb gritstone cliffs. This book will reset the standard for the years to come, this the only volume to cover the whole of the Eastern Gritstone edges from Wharncliffe to the Black Rocks and all the classic crags in between - Rivelin, the magnificent Stanage, Froggatt, Curbar, Millstone, the Burbage Valley, Birchen, Gardom's, Cratcliffe and many more.
April 2009 will see the publication of the new edition of "Western Grit".
