2012 sees the publishing of the first single volume guidebook to Peak
Limestone to have hit the shelves for many years. The last edition of Northern
Limestone included much of Yorkshire too, this time round the Peak District
gets its own dedicated coverage, with Yorkshire to follow. The book features
expanded photographic coverage of the classic venues of Stoney, Cheedale and
Water-cum-Jolly plus all the southern crags around Matlock, Dovedale and the
Manifold Valley.
The many routes that have been put up in recent years are included, plus a
reassessment of the classics. On top of this there are a number of recently
developed quarries that have become a magnet for sport climbers, including the
ever-popular Horseshoe and Masson Lees. The striking crag-shots are backed up
with full route descriptions and a superb set of action pictures that should
inspire even the most jaded grit guru.
