I very much doubt you'll find a new copy of this anywhere, whether anyone would want to sell and old copy I couldn't say.

I know you've all the heard this umpteen times before but we've genuinely made a lot of progress on the new BMC guide in the last couple of months. I will actually appear at some point.

Sorry my copy isn't for sale!

You may be lucky and find one on ebay, but as said you're probably better waiting for the new BMC guide. Or the Rockfax Western Grit has a section on Cheshire Sandstone.

Will this have the Pex eliminates in it as well?

Neither is mine! The liverpool uni library used to have a few copies, might be worth asking if only for reference purposes...
Psyched for the new quide, possibly the longest awaited and most eagerly anticipated guidebook in the history of my personal climbing life!!

I can sell mine if you want it. I'm not using it much at the moment and can wait for the new BMC one which I will definitely be getting  :-*

Yes it will, or at least it will have quite a few Pisa Wall eliminates anyway.  I've not done eliminate topos for any of the other walls of the quarry as it would start to become very, very complicated.  I'm just about finished with the eliminates section, have produced a complex photo topo and just need to add a final few ridiculously contrived "classics".  There will eventually be roughly 30 or so problems chosen from the myriad of eliminates stored in the minds of the people involved in producing the Pex chapter...   some of the problems are amazing, some are old school nightmares.
