UKC

Got my copy of the SMC's (very) long-awaited 'Scottish Sport Climbs' this morning. From a very quick flick through, it's been worth the wait!
I even managed to get a rear cover photo too, as well as some internal shots.

Well done to all the guys and gals who put in the effort in bringing this publication to reality.

In reply to Fraser:

Yes, a visually inspiring, brilliant looking guide that will open peoples eyes a bit I think!

In reply to Fraser: It is pretty damned good isn't it. Makes me want to go bolt clipping (and that's saying something)- couple of pics on the blog http://alanhalewood.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/scottish-sport-climbs-is-here.ht...
Love that includes bolted DT venues too (lets not have the People's Front making any raids north of the border now...).

In reply to Fraser: Just ordered mine

In reply to AlH:

I'll be pouring through it this evening I think, making notes of the more distant crags I should get round to visiting. There's a lot more of them than I'd thought.

In reply to Fraser:

Came back from offshore this morning to find it sitting behind the letterbox - great timing! And like you say, a massively impressive guide. Lots of good photos, and pleased to see some of the most recent local additions from last year have made it into the book (but therefore surprised at others which were still shown as projects).

In reply to Fraser:

Is it in Tiso yet or did you get in online?

In reply to Fraser:

"as well as some internal shots"

"brilliant looking guide that will open peoples eyes a bit"

It will if it includes some of Frazer's "internal shots"

In reply to Fraser:
A good, modern layout. Liked the history sections. Looking forward to getting out there.

However, two pages for Ratho quarrys 3 routes seems awfully generous?

In reply to Adam Lincoln:

I got a slightly advanced copy due to having some photos in it. (same applies for Alan and Stuart above) Not sure when it hits the shops, but I'm likely to be in Ratho tomorrow so will bring it through in case you're there too and you can have a peek.


In reply to tri-nitro-toulumne:

Ahem, yes, didn't quite know what the correct terms was. Interior maybe?

In reply to Fraser:
That's a cracking cover photo! I'm struggling recognise where it is though?

In reply to Fraser:
I got my copy from Dave Macs online shop as advertised on his blog.

In reply to dek:

Front cover? Think it might be Goat Crag but it lists all the inner and outer cover photos on the second one page I seem to remember. Back cover is Upper Cave at Dunkeld.

In reply to Fraser:
I thought you meant Spring!

In reply to Fraser:
Got mine this morning. And what a superb, inspiring, handsome volume it is.
I'm sure they'll be flying off the shelves in the next few weeks.
