Climbing Guidebook North Wales Limestone

This 2023 guidebook builds upon the hugely popular 2014 guidebook and details all the new development on the limestone cliffs of North Wales since then. The guide is authored by Andy Boorman and Ian Carr and has taken 3 years of hard graft and would not have been possible without the support of a large group of talented and dedicated local climbers and photographers.

The book has been produced on a not-for-profit basis, all for the benefit of every climber. All profits will be put back into supporting climbing and climbing related projects within this area. The proceeds from the 2014 book contributed to a massive new route boom, together with the modernisation of fixed equipment and the replacement and maintenance of belays and lower-offs. The 2023 book will continue to support this process, with the aim of trying to ensure that the fixed equipment is well maintained and modern.
