PRODUCT INFO

Superb Detail

Using better cameras, drone photography and better image processing techniques we have created by far the best set of crag shots ever assembled for the eastern gritstone edges of the Peak District. This includes superb overview photos plus brilliant buttress photos of crags like Black Rocks, Cratcliffe, Curbar and Wharncliffe which have previously been much harder to photograph.

Extra Routes, Extra Feedback

The route information has been overhauled with feedback, comments, and votes all individually assessed from UKClimbing logbooks. Extra routes have been added including new routes where they have been done. A few new areas have also been documented for the first time including Rivelin Quarries, some more buttresses at Froggatt and Ravensnest Tor in the Amber Valley.

Fourth Edition

The book is effectively the fourth edition of Peak Gritstone East – the book that changed guidebooks forever in 2001. It continues the legacy of great information for these crags from Rockfax and now gives more in-depth and detailed coverage than any other available guidebook for the crags covered.

Every Order Plants a Tree!

The forest of Fontainebleau is one of the major bouldering spots of the world. Thousands of sandstone boulders lie scattered over an area of 1,200 square kilometres of forest, wonderfully-shaped boulders of superb quality rock in a wilderness of pine, beech and oak trees. The climbing style is addictive, a subtle mixture of body positioning, footwork and power that is as demanding mentally as it is physically. There are problems at every grade imaginable, from the easiest of circuits to world class testpieces.

Written by local climbers Jo and Francoise Montchausse and Jacky Godoffe, Fontainebleau 'Off-Piste' reveals the locations of over 3,000 of the best problems graded at Font 6a and above, and highlights 250 problems of outstanding quality. Some problems found on circuits, others are set apart and easily missed. This guide ensures that doesn't happen.

Covering 92 different areas across the forest, the guide lists the harder problems in the main locations, and also on many lesser-known groups of boulders around the forest. There are 120 detailed maps both general location maps and boulder layouts, colour photographs for every area and hints, tips and anecdotes throughout. This new edition also features a comprehensive alphabetical index to all the problems in the guide with those of the highest quality highlighted in bold type.

More than enough for even the most dedicated enthusiast to go at. Fontainebleau 'Off-Piste' works particularly well when paired with the popular circuit guide Fontainebleau Climbs, written by the same authors.
