The latest guidebook from the Climbers’ Club is a new edition of South West Climbs, describing a selection of traditional, sport and DWS routes of all grades.

The original edition of South West Climbs was written by prolific pioneer Pat Littlejohn and published by Ken Wilson in 1979. It introduced many climbers to the superb climbing on the south-west peninsula of England.

Over the decades, the number of routes in the region has multiplied. For this new edition, the climbing has been split into two volumes, the first covering areas close to the main centres of population, such as Avon Gorge, Wye Valley and Dorset. It has been written by a talented team of local activists.

South West Climbs Volume 1 is now available to purchase from the BMC online shop

Member price: £22.50

Non-member price: £25.00

Volume 2 has been written by Pat Littlejohn and covers Devon, Cornwall and Jersey. It will be published either later this year or in 2013.
