Rockfax Peak NE and SE Pokketz

© Rockfax
The Pokketz Peak guidebooks from Rockfax The first two publications in the new Rockfax series of Pokketz guidebooks; between them, Peak NE and Peak SE cover the eastern gritstone edges and the limestone of the Stoney and Matlock areas.
Peak NE Pokketz has the best of the north eastern grit crags in the Peak area including Rivelin and Bamford, the majestic Stanage, the Burbage Valley, and Millstone and the other quarries - for a full list see below.
The book focuses on routes from Moderate to HVS and manages to pack more than 500 carefully chosen gems between its covers, but also includes 20 classic E1s and E2s to give something for everyone to aspire to.
This book provides a compact and low cost (RRP £9.95) introduction to the brilliant climbing found in the NE Peak Area. It is presented in the same clear and easy-to-follow style that make Rockfax publications the current leaders in the field, but it has been stripped down to give just the essentials required by many climbers.

Pokketz in action
The Pokketz Format - A6 in size, weighing less than 150 grams and only 7mm thick, this small and portable guidebook will fit in your 'pokketz'. Instead of concentrating on regions or rock types, the Pokketz books will cover grade bands and/or different climbing styles. The Peak series will include limestone routes as well as gritstone and will be presented in a horizontal page format to maximize the information packed between the covers. Future books will make maximum use of the format in covering sea cliff and multi-pitch routes where guidebook portability becomes an important consideration.

The Lancashire Brick rules do you get free chewing gum?

About time too! A guide's no good if you can't get it your arse pocket.

Did I read that right? They're only going to have routes from mod to HVS?
27 Jul, 2007
These two have mostly routes up to HVS although there are a few E1s and E2s in there as well. Others in the series will not necessarily follow this grade pattern. For example, the Pembroke guide. Alan

Ah, right. Any idea of when we can expect to see the Pembroke guide?
