climbing guidebook Sport Climbing in England & Wales Vol 2 South

This book, Volume 2, includes more than 4600 routes on 101 crags across the south of England and Wales, including Carmarthen Bay, the Gower Peninsula, Swansea Bay, the Welsh Valleys, Gilwern, the Wye Valley, Avon, Cheddar (north side only), Portland, Lulworth, Swanage, Devon and Cornwall.

All grades are represented, from the easiest beginner routes to test-piece climbs that rank amongst the hardest in the world, though the book is predominantly aimed at those climbing from F5 to F7b, with these routes given the most attention.

Despite a huge geographic coverage, this compact guidebook manages to describe pretty much all of the worthwhile sport crags in the south of England and Wales, including detailed access, approach and parking information alongside full photo-topos and super-accurate maps.
