...a more beautifully presented tome would be hard to find... a cursory glance through the guide will confirm that the pleasing simplicity of the design is backed up by superb photographs, concise text and drop-dead gorgeous photo-topos.

As an introduction to the highlights of reasonably-graded Peak District climbing, it's ace. And just as importantly, the photos made us want to get out there on the grit and climb.

Well put together and beautifully presented...if you are an occasional visitor, or live here and simply want the ultimate classic tick list or an inspiration manual, then it has to be on your shelf.

A very stylish, well designed and useful guide to some of the best routes and crags the Peak District has to offer. Peak District: Climbing is a very welcome addition to my bookshelf and will be treasured by climbers of all abilities. The appealing layout and the extra touches will make this guide very difficult to put down! I would not hesitate to recommend this guidebook to anyone visiting the Peak District, as this is the standard other selective guides will be judged by.
