I hear this guidebook is out now - anyone know where you can get it from?

Looking for a shop (in the South West) not online if at all possible...

Looks good thanks for the heads up.

Also want to say - 5 comprehensive guides for Pembroke, that crazy!

Its one area of the UK, and not a particularly big one, but has enough climbing to fill 5 guidebooks.

As the CC say "There are now as many recorded routes on the Pembrokeshire coast as in the whole of Snowdonia".

That makes it totally unique in the British Isles. I've been a few times but just never knew there was that many routes there - its pretty crazy/amazing/cool etc.

Yes i agree it is pretty special!

I think anyone still using the Rockfax select is really missing out on some very special places.

The Barn had a couple of copies, but may well have sold out.

Pembroke guides, they really are excellent (I have the lot), but... I think they could have been condensed into 4 or possibly 3 volumes - North Pembroke on its own (as it is) and South Pembroke split at, perhaps Huntsman's Leap. I suspect that Ranges West, in a separate volume, will have very small sales - I hope I'm proved wrong.

True and right across the grades, did your Mark of the Arch route earlier this year - amazing, 3*'s from me, much better than the slightly disappointing Giltar Slab route in the same area.

Yeah that was a good find

Awesome, thanks Mark - will check the local shops and take you up on that if I can't find it. Planning to go down Cornwall tomorrow morning, Becca said she'd heard it was out yesterday - will give you a shout later either way.

Thanks all - saw it on the climber's club website but as above need it quicker than that if poss!

Edit - Anyone who doesn't go to Range West is definitely missing out!
