Recommendations, please for the best climbing guide book that covers Anglesey and the Orme (sport climbing)?

thanks

Brilliant thanks, will save my teenager buying unnecessary books 👍🏻

There's only a small amount of Sport Climbing on Anglesey. 

There are 2 guidebook options for the coastal sport  - "North Wales Limestone" (includes the Benllech/Moelfre sport areas and also some Trad routes and venues) and "A55 sport climbs" (2nd edition just published so more up to date?). Both also include sport climbing crags such as Castle Inn Quarry, Marian Bach, Penmaenhead, Penmaenbach, Dyserth Crags etc. 

You may also want to consider "Llanberis Slate" - the Dinorwic quarries have a large number of sport climbs and aren't covered by the other 2 books.

Another vote for Llanberis State as a good read as well.

>>"(2nd edition just published so more up to date?)".

The latest edition is the 3rd not the 2nd.

In reply to harold walmsley:

So it is! I'm missing the first one then although I do have a North Wales Limestone (1981) with just 3 routes at Castle Inn (routes 1, 2 and 3, all Trad......).
