This is the only comprehensive overview guide of climbing areas in Western Europe, so it is the definitive guidebook for planning your holidays. It has over 350 colour photographs of climbing in Western Europe, and guides you to the locations of some 2600 different cliffs. If you want to plan a climbing holiday, at any time of the year, at any place in Western Europe, then this is the guidebook with all the key information. It is an easy to use guidebook, completely enticing, thrilling to flick through. Designed by climbers who know Europe, and know where the best places are to climb.

No matter what style of climbing you are interested in; sports routes, bouldering, alpine routes, adventure climbing, naturally protected routes, even traditional Czech / Elbsandstein 'knotted sling' style, this guidebook will lead you to the best cliffs. Europe - Sport Vertical shows how many routes there are at all of the 2600 crags, the range of grades available, and how suitable the cliff is for each standard of climber. It is illustrated on which cliffs the protection possibilities are poor, or where you are likely to take a monster fall, if it is slabby or overhanging; all this kind of climbing beta is available in pictograms.

The guidebook shows the orientation of every cliff, and whether they are shaded by trees in the summer. The crag altitude is given as well, from sea level up to 2000m. The rock type at every cliff is indicated, from granite to sandstone, and the different limestone variants are categorised at many of the most important cliffs. For locating the crags, the walk in time, rough angle of walk in, and the level of difficulty you will have in locating the crags are roughly pictured. Star ratings are given to all the cliffs in Western Europe, which show the holiday potential, climbing worthyness, and the ambient setting. On top of all this, Europe - Sport Vertical reports on bird restrictions and access restrictions, campsites, local guidebooks on offer (and which cliffs they include), and where to buy and the quality of those guidebooks.

Although this overview guide doesn't contain any routes information, it is a jam packed overview of climbing areas. The way all this information is conveyed is by means of a lot of symbols and pictograms. Initially it takes some time to get the hang of these symbols and pictograms, but a convenient symbol guide at the front and back helps.

So if you want to enjoy the soaring towers of Riglos in Spain; the chasms of the Verdon Gorge in France; awesome shields of gneiss in the Italian Alps; hidden limestone horrors of Germany; or the invigorating sea cliffs of Britain; snap up a copy of Europe Sport Vertical!
