Can't wait to go climbing? Neither can we! Spring's finally here bringing sunshine, warm weather and dry days. Now all you need is to find the routes and problems you want to climb...

Luckily for you Rockfax Digital has over 35 guidebooks, 50,000 routes and 850 crags, so wherever you want to climb we've got you covered. 

For 2021 we're planning to add these new areas and updates to the app:

  • Sicily
  • Ariege
  • Peak Limestone new crags
  • South West new crags
  • Attermire Scar
  • The Cuttings
  • Ailefroide
  • Indepdence Quarry
  • Chamonix

  • Costa Blanca

All these updates will be included in the subscription and come at no extra cost. 

We’re now providing Rockfax Digital subscribers with 30% off Rockfax print guidebooks at rockfax.com too. This comes at the same time as a change to our pricing structure: subscriptions are just £5/month or £50/year, although existing subscriptions will continue at the current price.

If you were hibernating during the cold winter months and are ready to hit the crags again in 2021, Rockfax Digital is the perfect start.
