GWR – Bristol Sport

Introduction

Bristol Sport is the long awaited Great Western Rock 500-page guidebook to the huge upsurge of sport climbing that has happened in the Bristol region.

There are lots to discover within the pages of this book as considerable development has taken place in recent years. There are now over 825 full/hybrid sport pitches described and a multitude of new things to do. The lower-grade climber is usually poorly served on most UK sport crags but in this guide there are now 450 climbs ranging from F2 up to F6b+.

This is a full, definitive guidebook and details the wealth of climbing that is now available not only in the city, and close by, but also throughout all of northern half of Somerset and its coastal crags.
