BMC guides are quite often written as a collective and some little visited crags with no new info will be copied of the old guides.
Most of the guide with a few exceptions was was drafted by Gary, then countless people have stuck their oars in.

Sample pages look amazing, great work all. If the printers are quick this could be rather well timed!

Hi guys, this looks great. The sample pages look really good but it looks like (I think!) there's an error in the scoop wall description- aren't the long moves leftwards, rather than rightwards? (I noticed coz you've upgraded it!)

Looks like an accurate description to me. If Scoop Wall has been upgraded it might spell the end to Stoneys reputation of sandbags.

The first long move round the bulge is rightwards. The description is correct, apart from the grade. Benchmark E2!

Benchmark E2!

Meaning that if you can do it, your ability to do pretty much any E2 is not in doubt.

I realise now I had mis read it, I was thinking about the'crux pulls' it mentions higher up, which are leftwards.

Lots of it is polished and some is chossy.

Is there a full list of crags included anywhere? Already have the rockfax book, and my mate is thinking of getting this, just wondering what is included in this that isn't in the Rockfax guide and vice versa?

I think what's included over and above the rockfax is not for profit effort that's for the good of the climbing community.
