UKC

Seen there are a fair few sport crags listed on ukc, not sure if anyone knows of the quality or the guidebook situation on them?

Thanks.

There´s a 2014 guide from Marcus Schwaiger, 32 sport crags in it.

In reply to jimtitt:

My experience from about 5 years ago was that the routes are mostly quite short but on fantastic quality rock and have really cool moves, although the grades can leave your ego feeling a bit battered!

Beautiful place too.

In reply to jimtitt:

Thanks! Book ordered, good to hear the climbs have nice moves, I better get training

In reply to BAdhoc:

Good move. Of all the European guidebooks I've read, Markus Schwaiger's comes closest in spirit to a good British climbing guidebook. He's trying to convey some of his love for the area, the history and the climbing characters (there are Zillertal locals who were trying trad 8a ground-up in the Dolomites in the 80s) and not just provide a climb-by-numbers topo.

In reply to BAdhoc:

Good to hear Zillertal is a beautiful place and has some great climbing, i'm heading there in 10 days time for a few days. Just keeping fingers crossed for decent climbing weather now!

In reply to diddler:
Have fun, any info when you get back would be excellent if you wouldn't mind!

In reply to BAdhoc:

Yes no problem, Will give you a heads up on my return

In reply to BAdhoc:

It's a fantastic area for climbing and a beautiful place to visit. There are routes of all sizes and world class bouldering. Didn't seem that stiff either in my experience?

Have fun, the guide is really good and has everything that you need in it.

In reply to BAdhoc:
Bought the guidebook, looks amazing. And the guidebook is top quality too.

The app that comes with it is pretty darn good too, Rockfax take note!

Time to book some flights.
