Hard Rock
We will send you a notification as soon as this product is available again.
A celebrated anthology of classic UK trad climbs, blending adventure, literature, and visual artistry.
This guide highlights 69 iconic traditional routes across more than 50 crags in England, Scotland, and Wales, spanning majestic mountain faces, dramatic gritstone edges, and sea‐cliff spectacles. It stands as a timeless tribute to British climbing heritage, offering vivid photography, evocative essays, and expertly chosen test pieces.
In this new edition, editor Ian Parnell has ensured Hard Rock continues to honour Ken’s original concept, in particular keeping the route, not the climber, centre stage. While the activity of climbing has undergone myriad changes since 1974 – sticky rubber, camming devices, and the rise of sport climbing and indoor climbing walls – many climbers are still drawn to the drama and challenge of traditionally protected climbing.
This is why Hard Rock is still as relevant now as it was in 1974.
