The Rockfax West Country Climbs guidebook is an A5 sized major guide to one of the UK’s most celebrated, sunny and diverse climbing regions.

Using Rockfax’s award-winning layout and design, the guidebook is copiously illustrated with action photographs that reflect the quality and variety of climbing experiences to be had on offer in the UK’s most popular holiday destination - the West Country. Many of these cliffs have never been illustrated so clearly before, and this book has some of the best crag photographs ever taken.

The book covers around 900 of the West Country’s most popular and highest calibre climbs, from multi-pitch sea cliff routes, to easy-going inland sport climbs. The rock ranges from the moorland and sea cliff granites of Dartmoor and West Penwith, through the geological weirdness of North Devon and Cornwall, to the multitude of limestone’s on parade in Devon, Somerset, Avon and Dorset.

Rockfax's West Country Climbs is an essential reference book to the climbing available in the region. The guidebook appeals to the holidaying or regular visitor to the West Country whilst also offering a vast amount of up-to-date and inspirational coverage for the local climber.
