Lake District Winter Climbs : Snow, ice and mixed climbs in the English Lake District

This winter climbing guide to the Lake District is a joint production by the Fell and Rock Climbing Club and Cicerone Press, presenting the definitive collection of snow, ice and mixed climbs in a fresh new format. Every known winter climb from every part of the Lake District is described—nearly 1000 routes in all.

The routes range from classic high-mountain gullies and buttresses on crags such as Scafell, Pillar, and Great Gable to frozen watercourses and icefalls including Great Gully on the Wasdale Screes, Launchy Gill, Low Water Beck and Cautley Spout. Popular venues like Great End and the Eastern Coves of the Helvellyn Escarpment are described in detail, along with several routes in outlying Cumbria.

Packed with practical information, the guide includes sections on winter equipment, winter climbing and conservation, climbing walls, and accommodation. A comprehensive first ascent list features fascinating historical research. Fully revised and updated maps help you find the crags, while detailed colour photo-topos make route identification easy. All presented in a ruggedly bound, handy pocket-sized format perfect for the mountain.
