Got hold of this on the way out to Shipley today - first impressions are very good, looks like there are some really interesting places to go and search out.

On a more selfish note I was pleasantly surprised that the publication has knocked off one of my all-time climbing goals as it contains a documented new route I've done! YYFY!! Just a picture taken by me in a guide and a picture of me in a guide left to go...

Easy peasy, TTT. Get some nice pics and give them to the YMC grit guide group and they might get into the new Bible. Plenty of FAs going out there too if you know where to look...

I've done a preview of the guide here (there are no sales links at the other end so thought it would be kosher to put it up):
http://info.rockrun.com/articles/yorkshire-grit-bouldering-volume-2-preview.html

This isn't a review reporting on the usability of the guide, more just reasons why you might want to check out some of the areas featured in the book. There really are some fine crags listed in this guide.

These moorland venues get me psyched so much more than Caley. Bring it!

So it is rumoured. But dabs are in so it all balances out in the end.
