Borrowdale is probably the most beautiful valley in the Lake District and offers the rock climber a huge variety of climbing styles often in stunning panoramic settings. The valley is well-known for accessible roadside climbing on crags such as Reecastle, the ever popular Shepherd's Crag, Quayfoot Buttress and the Bowderstone area, with most crags enjoying sun in the afternoon. There are also a number of classic mountain venues like Gillercomb and Raven Crag, Combe Gill where solitude and far reaching vistas over the Lakeland fells can be savoured.This 2016 Borrowdale guide from the FRCC is fully revised. The valley is divided into six logical areas presented with specially commissioned showcase action images and clear OS based mapping. The popular A5 format provides greater clarity and there is full photodiagram coverage. The less well-trodden places such as the Seathwaite buttresses, Combe Gill and Langstrath are given clear photoplan coverage which clarifies these complex areas of small immaculate outcrops. Exciting action images and the usual supplementary essential information such as parking and camping are included together with a comprehensive crag selector.The Fell & Rock Climbing Club is the premier rock climbing and mountaineering club in the English Lake District. The Club was founded in 1906-07 and has been publishing a definitive series of climbing guidebooks to the Lakes since 1922.

The Duddon Valley is probably one of the most beautiful valleys in the Lake District and its certainly one of the least frequented and unspoilt. Many climbers will be familiar with the area due to the relative popularity of Wallowbarrow Crag, a great venue for the low to mid-grade climber set in stunning surroundings. The valley has seen a huge explosion in development of new routes in recent years on the many outcrop style crags that litter the valleys sides. Many of the routes are single pitch with easy access and short approaches giving the climber a wealth of choice and an escape from the crowds. This 2021 Duddon & Wrynose guide from the FRCC is bang up to date. The guide covers both the Duddon Valley and the popular crags accessed from Wrynose Pass (the Wrynose Pass crags were previously covered in the 2013 Langdale guide). The guide describes in excess of 1300 routes, many of them having been established since the publication of the previous guide back in 1993. The popular A5 format provides great clarity and ease of use and there is full photo-diagram coverage. There are many great action shots included in the guide and there's the usual supplementary information on parking and camping; a comprehensive crag selector is also included.
