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...

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.
