In reply to UKC Articles:
Got home from work yesterday and found one of those Post Office "we've tried to deliver a parcel, but you weren't in so we've taken in back to the sorting office" cards. I was a bit annoyed, as I was expecting something from Amazon and had clearly put on the order to leave with a neighbour if I wasn't in. But when I collected it on the way to work today, I was well chuffed to find it was my Chamonix Rockfax pre-order.
Initial impressions are this a really good looking guide, with loads of additional information to help route finding, especially on the more popular routes and if you are like me, an old fart who is still using the old Alpine Club and Piola guides, there is so much clarity around route descriptions it is like discovering the area for the first time.
Combining the mountain alpine routes, with mountain rock, valley cragging and bouldering gives this the feel of the new Chamonix Bumper Fun Book.
Can't wait to get back to Cham and well done to Charlie Boscoe and Jack Geldard the authors.
And no I'm nothing to do with UKC or Rockfax....very much a punter.
