Dumfries and Galloway SMC
This guide describes the rock and winter climbing in Dumfries and Galloway, one of Scotland's best-kept secrets. The 64 cliffs and 1,760 climbs in these pages are always in beautiful scenery and vary hugely, from idyllic beachside bouldering to burly 180m icefalls, but above all, they are unfrequented and unspoilt. Many 'remote' Galloway hill crags are surprisingly close to the road, and an excellent climate allows for all-year-round rock climbing on the sea cliffs, where high-quality granite and diorite routes abound.
Compiled and updated by local activists, this new guide presents the best that this unsung area has to offer both seasoned climbers and those taking their first steps onto outdoor crags. Throughout, you'll find full-colour photographic topos, inspiring action shots and detailed maps that help remove the mystery, but not the magic.
