Achat Guide technique - Lake District Winter Climbs - Cicerone

An essential guidebook to the best winter climbing routes in the Lake District. Nearly 1000 winter climbs in every part of the Lakes is described. From classic high-mountain gullies and buttresses on crags such as Scafell, Pillar and Great Gable to frozen watercourses and icefalls including Great Gully on the Wasdale screes.

This essential guidebook to winter climbing in the Lake District is a joint production by the Fell and Rock Climbing Club and Cicerone.

Its the definitive guide to winter climbing in the Lakes and every known winter climb from every part of the Lake District is described.

The climbing areas in the guidebook are generally based on the valleys from where there is access the various cliffs described. A brief description of the approach to a climbing area is given at the beginning of the valley chapter, with any specific crag approaches being included at the beginning of that crag section. Where not obvious, the descent from each crag is also given. The crag grid reference, altitude and aspect, and, where relevant, an indication of the weather conditions likely to bring the crag into climbing condition, have also been included. For completeness, a few other routes within Cumbria, but outside the Lake District, are also covered.

There are also sections on winter equipment, winter climbing and conservation, climbing walls, accommodation, and a first ascent list that includes masses of interesting historical research.
