Forget Everest! Paul Nunn has described over 1100 rock climbs that arguably provide more high quality climbing per meter than any rival destination in the world. The Peak District National Park, sitting astride the backbone of England, contains a huge variety of limestone and gritstone crags. Nunn has described a selection of routes of all standards of difficulty on 109 of them. From short scrambles for the beginner to the most awesome feats at the limit of what is possible; from overgrown boulders to soaring limestone cathedrals ... it's all here.
Photographs of most of the crags help the climber to accurately locate the climbs. Descriptions give sufficient detail to follow the route, but leave the rest to the prospective "rock athlete" - just as it should be. A simple grading system gives a clear indication of the difficulty and seriousness of each climb.
A comprehensive guidebook to the rock climbs of the region would run to several volumes, but here is the "creme de la creme". A number of high quality photographs not only inspire, but succeed in capturing the unique atmosphere of the region.
Paul Nunn was killed by rockfall while climbing in the Karakorum Himalayas. This book is a fitting legacy to one who knew every crack and flake of the Peak District's slabs and buttresses. It is a must for anyone planning to explore the vertical playgrounds of Northern England.
