Description
Hard Rock is the ultimate guide to British rock climbing. First published in 1974, it has remained the definitive representation of traditional climbing in Great Britain. This new edition, edited by Ian Parnell, continues Ken Wilson's original concept, focusing on the trad connoisseur's grade range of VS to E2, with additional routes at E3 and E4. The featured climbs are a mix of big mountain walls, gritstone outcrops, and epic sea cliff adventures, stretching across the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Lake District, the Pennines, and the Peak District. Timeless classics include The Bat on Ben Nevis, the Old Man of Hoy, and Vector at Tremadog. With over fifty crags and sixty-nine routes in England, Scotland, and Wales, Hard Rock is a must-have for climbers looking to tackle some of Britain's most iconic climbs.
