Lake District Sport Climbs

The Lake District and its surrounds are home to a fine selection of sport climbing venues that are set in diverse and very attractive locations, all within easy reach of the fells and their associated famed scenery and pubs. The routes span the full grade spectrum and give the option of dry climbing when the fells necessitate a retreat.

This new Rockfax guidebook documents the large amount of high quality sport climbing in and around the Lake District and is the most up-to-date information for all the areas it covers. The crags are set in various environments from seaside to mountainside and contain well-bolted climbs on a variety of rock types - an increasingly popular style of climbing.
