You lucky devils have it good. Ahead of the imminent and audacious release of the new Lancashire Rock guidebook, we're giving away a taster sample to titillate your tips. Get your mitts on the download.

In the Lancashire League Egerton ranks only behind the Wiltons and Anglezarke for the number of quality routes. That's why we've got this special treat for you.

To help you see what there is to do at this fab quarry, we have put a sample section from the forthcoming Lancashire Rock guide online. Download it, have a look, get keen, grab your plastic bristled brush, your rack and your forearms and swing on down here.

Eastoterica: the East London climbing & sculpture guide

Guidebooks have never been more niche: the East London park boulders now have their own poster mini-guide that includes a little of their history and if you're into Eastoterica, you can get it from the BMC Shop. If you've never heard of them, then read on:

The Outer Hebrides: Niall Grimes reviews the new SMC guide

Throw open any page in this new guidebook and, if there’s a heartbeat inside that overtrained husk that you call your body, you will immediately be lost in a world of dreams and inspiration. Drop-dead seacliffs yawn above wild Atlantic seascapes; climbers dotted on multipitch adventues on the most independent of geology; routes of every grade that cross impossible terrain thanks to a million Christmasses’-worth of jugs and cracks. Is this the last outpost of adventure for UK trad climbing? A Yukon of pump?

I'm sure someone will already have picked up the typo on page Egerton/3 but just in case... In the 'Bouldering' paragraph, the final word (challenges) is missing an e.

The guide looks marvellous! I really appreciate the work that's gone into its creation. Many, many thanks to all who contributed their time and efforts.

Hey thanks MJB, very kind of you to say, and glad that all the volunteers' efforts shine through. And thanks for the heads up on the typo, that one almost made it over the wire ;-)

The new guidebook looks truly fantastic and thank you for all the hard work that has gone into this endeavour. Will the guide include the scarce but still existing old aid routes in Denham and Hoghton and later additions such as New Wave Breaks (A2) on Chimney Buttress, Wilton 1? Out of vogue maybe but in keeping with the tradition of the quarries and still fun for some.
