Borrowdale is probably the most beautiful valley in the Lake District & 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 & the Bowderstone area, with most crags enjoying sun in the afternoon. There are also a number of classic mountain venues like Gillercomb & Raven Crag, Combe Gill where solitude & 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 & clear OS based mapping. The popular A5 format provides greater clarity & there is full photodiagram coverage. The less well-trodden places such as the Seathwaite buttresses, Combe Gill & Langstrath are given clear photoplan coverage which clarifies these complex areas of small immaculate outcrops. Exciting action images & the usual supplementary essential information such as parking & camping are included together with a comprehensive crag selector. The Fell & Rock Climbing Club is the premier rock climbing & mountaineering club in the English Lake District.
