This comprehensive second edition has been completely redesigned and expanded from its 2014 predecessor, growing from 50 cliffs across Burgundy's 4 departments to an impressive 250 climbing locations spanning Burgundy, Auvergne, and central southern France. Over 350 cliffs were visited and carefully evaluated for inclusion in this essential climbing guide.

The book is organized into 6 major geographical areas, each offering distinct climbing experiences: Fontainebleau's 30 bouldering areas with circuit information; the classic limestone of Yonne-Morvan including Saussois and granite outcrops in Morvan National Park; the powerhouse Auxois-Beaune-Macon region featuring Hauteroche, Saffres, and Solutré; the volcanic and granite terrain around Clermont Ferrand; the varied smaller cliffs near St-Etienne; and the hot, dry classics of Ardèche, Tarn and Montpellier for those rainy days when you need to head south.

Featuring over 10,000 climbing routes presented with ultra-modern graphics and exceptional photography, this bilingual English-French guide uses intuitive color-coding (green through to purple) to help climbers of all abilities find suitable routes. The A5 format spans 320 pages and is ideal for families and climbers making the transition from indoor to outdoor climbing.
