Europe: Sport Vertical [ISBN: 1 873665 21 0]

This book is a comprehensive overview to climbing in Western Europe.  It is written for climbers of all standards, from beginners and weekend enthusiasts, to experts and professional mountain guides. The book includes all types of climbing, but mainly concentrates on equipped sport routes and bouldering.  It is a guide book that offers an encyclopaedic level of knowledge on European climbing, but is small enough to be carried in a rucksack.

The guide has been designed to be used by climbers of any nationality and language so as little text has been used as possible. Instead the guide uses specialist climbing icons which have been developed over 30 years.  The main icons are described in several languages on the inside cover.
