WARNING: Climbing is a dangerous activity that carries a risk of injury or death. You climb at your own risk. You are the sole judge of conditions. You take responsibility for your own actions. The information in these guides is derived from a number of sources; comments and route descriptions contributed by climbers to the FRCC website and from other sources. The information has not been checked – please treat descriptions, grades, rock quality, fixed gear and all other content with caution. Do not presume that any of this material is accurate. Neither the publisher nor anyone involved in the publication of this information can be held responsible for omissions, mistakes, nor held liable for any personal or third party injuries or damage, howsoever caused, arising from its use.

Page References: Page references refer to the most recent definitive FRCC guidebook.
Using the e-books: The books are in pdf format; click to download, then open them on your computer, tablet or phone. They are laid out by crag, then sector or buttress which allows you to print smaller sections. There is one whole valley guide, Yewdale, which covers all of the climbing in the valley, by crag and buttress. The pdfs are practical, stripped of all non-essential text and images, you only get what you need. No more and no less… Each discrete section of a crag starts on a new page, so you are able to print just what you need for a visit. Most are designed to be A5, two pages side-by-side on A4 paper.
