Peak District Gritstone is a comprehensive guide to traditional gritstone climbing and covers the whole of the national park. Written by local climber Graham Hoey, it features over 2,000 carefully selected trad routes graded from Mod to E10. Graham has been an active grit climber for nearly 50 years. He was a member of the British Mountaineering Council's guidebook committee for 20 years and since 1979 has been a major contributor to the iconic Peak District climbing guidebook series. Over his grit career and during the course of his research for this guidebook he has climbed 95% of the routes in this book (many more than once!) and has checked the rest closely. No other guidebook author has climbed as extensively on Peak District gritstone; his passion for the genre, knowledge of the routes and his attention to detail are evident throughout the text. This guide is split into three sections: Eastern Gritstone - extending from Wharncliffe Crags down to Black Rocks; Staffordshire Gritstone- including The Roaches; and Moorland Gritstone- from the Chew Valley to Kinder. Alongside nationally significant crags such as Stanage and The Roaches, there are smaller and equally brilliant venues with their own unique features, such as the wild moorland edges of Wimberry and Ravenstones, or the urban quarried grit at New Mills Torrs. Each crag features detailed access and approach information, including GPS coordinates for parking and crag grid references, together with conditions information and local knowledge. Alongside superb action photography from Mike Hutton, Adam Long, Keith Sharples and more, there are over 400 colour photo topos, plus overview and topo maps. A detailed introduction includes everything you need to plan a visit: tourist information centres, cafes and pubs, campsites and accommodation, gear shops, climbing walls and useful websites. 542 pages language english edition 2021 G.

The popular climbing areas around Glossop and the north-west Peak District have been written about in many guidebooks. Moorland Grit by Paul Durkin features those lost and hidden crags often overlooked by previous explorers and scribes. Quality rock does abound and there are many ticks that are tucked away in secluded areas and high on moor edges for those who want to get away from it all. Featuring 340 routes from Mod to E3 and 425 boulder problems with full colour action photography. Paul Durkin is a confirmed Yorkshireman from Yeadon, serving his climbing apprenticeship on the local cliffs of Caley, Almscliffe and Ilkley, with winter forays to the Lakes and Scotland. A degree in civil engineering at Sheffield was followed by thirteen years in Shaw, Oldham, where in 1980 he met Glossop climber Malc Baxter, resulting in many a climbing adventure from Lundy to Barrow-in-Furness, forging a lifelong friendship. It was Malc who encouraged Paul up his first E2, Indy 500 (unfortunately now downgraded to E1), on Lundy after both of them soloed The Devil?s Slide. Three alpine trips and a visit to Yosemite were fitted into a career with Oldham MBC before a move back to Sheffield in 1992 to work for Mott MacDonald, which put the Peak District within easy reach. It was about this time that he started climbing with Sheffield climber Simon Royston. Paul is a keen climber, but has never considered himself a hard climber, E3 being his hardest trad route leads, but that has still left plenty to do! In 2007, together with Baxter and Royston, they began exploring out-of-the-way little or unknown crags, searching for new routes, which resulted in the Moorland Grit guidebook. After retiring as a technical director from Mott MacDonald in 2019, keeping bees now keeps him busy along with continuing the search for more esoteric crags 190 pages language english edition 2021 P.

600 boulder problems in the lower Churnet valleyChurnet Bouldering is a comprehensive guide to the magical sandstone bouldering in the Lower Churnet Valley. Located just south of the Peak District National Park boundary and neighbouring the Alton Towers theme park, the Churnet features some of the best bouldering in the Peak area. This guide features never-before documented venues, such as Farley Woods and Threapwood Woods, as well as classic venues, including Cottage Rocks and Wright's Rock. Over 600 problems are included and grades range from Font 3 to 8a+, with a particularly high concentration of Font 5s and 6s. Meticulously researched over several years, Churnet Bouldering is written by Stuart Brooks, one of the area's most active developers, supported by a team of local climbers. Problem descriptions are accompanied by photo topos and maps, and there are detailed notes on access and conditions - especially important in the Churnet - as well as a host of other important information. Stuart Brooks developed a love for the outdoors during childhood while on family walks in the Peak District, Lake District and in Scotland. His first taste of rock climbing was with the local scout group and, aged 15, with a regular climbing partner, he began to tick his way through the Peak's classic gritstone and limestone routes. While he enjoyed climbing the classic testpieces, he found far more pleasure exploring and bouldering in the esoteric corners of the Peak. In the late 1990s he stumbled into the Churnet for the first time and began a relationship with the area which continues to this day. 136 pages language english edition 2015 S. Brooks VP
