> Thanks Chris, I will pick up a few of those. I understand from the thread about the North Wales guide that Rockfax select guides are select in terms of crags and sectors rather than routes, is that right? Would that be the approach of most select guides?
We try to include the best buttresses, then all of the decent routes on those. Ideally I like to try to include all the routes that an occasional and fairly regular visitor might be interested in, leaving the rest of the (non and some 1 star) routes for the 'Definitive'.
Of course it depends on the crag, if it is the kind of place people only visit once, you might want to include more to routes to cover the grade spread.
Hope this helps,
Chris
