Dry Tooling Great Britain

Introduction

Dry Tooling Great Britain is a guidebook covering the West of Scotland to the South East of England.

Once the preserve of winter climbers seeking to train in poor conditions, dry-tooling has now taken off as a popular form of climbing in its own right. In recent years, a huge surge of development has seen new dry-tooling venues spring up around the country – venues that are described here in print for the very first time.

Packed with stunning action shots, detailed maps and photo topos, this book provides a comprehensive guide to Britain’s 26 dry-tooling crags. Some of these are major destinations, while others offer only a handful of routes, but whether you are a dedicated dry-tooler, or simply taking your first teetering steps in spikes, they will amply reward a visit.

The crags offer an incredible variety of climbing, from natural slabs to soaring roofs, and from powerful traverses to delicate overlaps, on a wide variety of different rock types across the full length and breadth of the country.
