Pembroke (Including supplement)Pembroke (Including supplement)
Compiled by John Harwood & Dave Viggers

Pembroke's continued popularity has meant that there are now so many climbs that the Climbers Club have had to produce this guide in two volumes (In one cover). There are two distinct areas for climbing. The south coast provides steep limestone which, although only usually a rope length in height, gives fine exposed climbs often on very rough rock. By contrast, the North coast gives quieter cliffs often of gabbro or dolerite rock. Within both areas there is a good balance of routes from the very hardest to climbs suitable for beginers.

The area covered is too wide ranging to list here.

829 pages + supplement of 140 pages.

LleynLleyn
Dave Ferguson, Iwan Arfon Jones, Pat Littlejohn.

The Lleyn Peninsula has always been looked upon as a rather esoteric backwater, almost the black sheep of North Wales climbing. Horror stories abound of snappy holds, tottering blocks, woeful protection and vegitated rambles. Some would like to keep this reputation intact as the only queues you're likely to find around here are at the ice cream vans of Abersoch. We on the other hand think that others may wish to share this unique experience.

Areas covered:---
Northern Lleyn.
Aberdaron Area.
Cilan Area.
Ty'n Tywyn Quarries.
