First Edition. First Edition. This is from the dustwrapper: "Climbing is a particular branch of mountain eering that has become increasingly popular over the last decade. Before the war, climbers who lived near any outcrop of local stone would use such a crag for prac. tice climbs. But more recently this form of climbing has become an end in itself, and many outcrop routes are of a severity only occasionally found in the mountains. Further, some of these inland cliffs are now becoming the home of artificial climbing, a technique demanding special equipment such as pegs, etriers and double ropes. This development of artificial techniques has given British climbers some of the exper ience needed for tackling the very hardest Alpine routes, and has, so to say, helped to put Britain back on the Alpine map. The crags themselves are fascinating and often beautiful though only a few exceed 100 feet in height or 200 yards in length. They are far more numerous than many people would think: there are sandstone cliffs within 35 miles of Marble Arch that attract climbers by the hundred every Sunday; and there are many disused and weathered quarries in the Midlands and North that are as yet barely explored. But the most interesting and important out crops are those of the great gritstone edges in Derbyshire and Yorkshire and it is here that climbers flock not only from the indus trial cities near by but also, for weekend visits, from further afield. The West Coun try, too, is well supplied: there is the lime stone of the Avon and Cheddar Gorges, the granite of the Dartmoor Tors and the Dewerstone, and of the Shropshire out crops near Shrewsbury, at Pontesford. In the Cotswolds and in the Severn Valley there are a number of limestone outcrops, many of which are not completely explored, and the limestone sea-cliffs of Dorset are becoming popular with climbers from the south-coast towns and from London though probably the best sea-cliff climbing is still to be found on the Cornish granite. From the climber's poinf of view, too, the limestone in Derbyshire and Yorkshire, at such places as Malham and Stoney Middle ton, is becoming increasingly important. All these areas are fully described and notes on several climbs are given for each of the popular outcrops. In addition Mr. Uns worth has compiled appendices that include practically all climbable rock so far dis covered in England (outside the actual mountain districts), together with map ref erences, and guide-book references where they exist. The book is not intended as a guide-book in itself, although enough climbs are described to render profitable an initial visit to any of the main outcrops. It is intended, rather, to supplement the individual guide-books in giving an over all picture of what is available. This book has been written primarily to meet the needs of the seasoned rock climber: it shows him just where good climbing can be found both in his own part and in other parts of the country (the book deals with England only); it tells him of the most convenient approach routes, and what grades of climb can be expected at each out crop. The beginning climber, too, wherever he lives, will find advice on which of his local outcrops will best suit his particular standard. Mr. Unsworth also gives useful advice on differences in the grading of climbs on different sorts of rock. But for the non-climber, particularly if he is attracted to geology, the book has a deeper interest than that to be found in the vicarious pleasure of reading climber's "shop"; it directs him towards often un suspected beauties of scenery and the joys of exploration, whether on foot, cycle or by car: for this is the first comprehensive de scription of a most interesting and remark able aspect of our countryside."
