Cheesewring Quarry covered in new selected climbs guidebook


In July Rockfax published West Country Climbs, written by Devon-born Mark Glaister, a selective guide to the climbing in Avon, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset. Just over 30 routes from the South East Cornwall area are included in the book which has some coverage of Cheesewring Quarry, Roche Rock and Devil’s Jump. See the Rockfax database for a full list of the routes covered.

It is nice to see Cheesewring Quarry given the same treatment as so many of the South West's other top venues. Mark has done an excellent job and the book is very well produced. With the definitive guide currently unavailable West Country Climbs will no doubt prove useful for anyone looking for some information on the climbing in the area.

Work is progressing on the new edition of the definitive guide to Cheesewring & South East Cornwall, which is currently still in the writing/research stage. Please note: no announcements of a publication date for this will be made until nearer the time.
