In reply to GrahamD: I think we should congratulate F&R and specifically Max and Scott for a superb production. The photodiagrams are great, and there'll be no excuse for saying "I'll not make the effort to go to such-and-such a crag because the descriptions all sound a bit vague - might be waste of time".
I'm pleased that F&R have held their nerve over the star rating system (whose criteria are clearly laid out in the intro). Many have claimed an excess of stars, but if you want more than a handful of routes to be regularly climbed there need to be lots of stars.
Personally, browsing through it, I have found a good number of new routes, some on crags new to me, which I shall be looking forward to doing next year. And, considering that I'm not expecting to be climbing anything harder than HVS, that is quite an achievement.
Thanks again to Max and the team.
