The BMC Staffordshire Gritstone guide

Posted by Niall Grimes on 28/03/2006
The Staffordshire guide.

The definitive guide to all routes and bouldering in the Staffordshire gritstone area.

Detailing over 1,600 routes and 800 boulder problems and presented in a format that combines all the best features of definitive guides with all the possibilities allowed by modern printing techniques, this is one of the most exciting guides to have been published in years.

The guide covers the Roaches, Hen Cloud, Ramshaw, Baldstones, Newstones, the Churnet Valley, Castle Naze, Windgather and Bosley Cloud.

Rich, well-researched descriptions are supplemented with high-quality colour crag photographs to give clear and inspiring information to help in both the choice and location of climbs. Added to this is a thorough historical section, an exhaustive first ascents list, sections specially designed to help those new to the area and a lavish array of action photographs covering climbs in every area and at every grade.

Available to buy in our online shop now.
