Symonds
Yat and Huntsham Crags in the Forest of Dean are covered by the CC for the first
time in this modestly priced hardback. The mainly single-pitch routes on the
Yat's limestone and on Huntsham's strange sandstone are described with the aid
of 9 maps and 8 action photos.
Some climbers don't visit Symonds Yat, as they've
heard tales of its occasionally muddy approach paths, toproped-to-death
honeypot routes, and the odd loose hold. So why buy the guidebook? For the sustained
yet well-protected corner of The Golden Fleece (Severe), the 3-star crack-climbing
of Red Rose Speedway (HVS), or the exposed headwall on Sweden (E2), to
name but a few. For airy routes on the Long Stone, an isolated pinnacle perched
high above the river. For over four hundred other climbs, one hundred of them new,
set amidst the Yat's leafy glades.
