Northern Limestone

Northern Limestone  

by Alan James, Mark Glaister and Chris Craggs
Published July 2004 - Sold out February 2010

Northern Limestone was the most comprehensive guide ever published to limestone in England – it weighed in at 384 pages and covered every major limestone crag between Dove Dale in the south, and Chapel Head Scar in the north, with over 2500 routes described in detail. It sold for 6 years and sold out in February 2010.

Next Print Edition - Northern Limestone sold much faster than we originally anticipated and it has now sold out. At present we probably won't be able to produce a new edition until early 2011 and we do anticipate an information gap for Peak Limestone. Yorkshire Limestone will still be served by the current YMC guide.

This small MiniGuide was intended to supplement the coverage given by the 2004 Northern Limestone Rockfax (now sold out). It contains 8 crags from the Peak Area which didn't quite make the cut for inclusion in the 2004 book, however they do contain some worthwhile climbing.

Peak Lime Extra

Peak Limestone  

by Alan James
Published - August 1992

The third ever ROCKFAX which covered Peak District limestone, an area which was sadly neglected by both climbers and guidebook writers duing the 90s (perhaps these two facts are connected?). Now updated and covered in Northern Limestone.

Yorkshire Limestone  

by Mick Ryan, Ben Walker and Greg Rimmer
Published - January 1990

The opening publication from ROCKFAX was to the fast-developing area of Yorkshire Limestone and featured photo-topos, very basic descriptions and was the guidebook that broke the mould for British guidebooks. It was briefly updated in 1993 with an orange Yorkshire Limestone topo-card by Alan James and Mick Ryan. Now updated and covered in Northern Limestone.
