I was wondering how i would go about logging some routes that i think have never been climbed or at least aren't in a guide book.

If the crags already on the UKC database, just submit your route info to the moderator. If it's not on the database, then you've got to add it/ become moderator.

Contact the guidebook publishers to the area first. Multiple claims for the same route can be a real pain and eat volunteer time.

Oh yes. As Dave (^above) and I found out when checking Rhino's Buttress at Craig y Merched.

Yes, thanks Sy, I forgot that point.

Offwidth is dead right - so best to also check with the current guidebook authors. See 4th paragraph for a heartfelt plea: http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=2264&refresh=7416
