In my opinion a Guidebook is a useful tool to find crags and climbs at it's basic level. Expanding on that it gives travel and accomodation options, and expanding even further to crag history and where applicable stories behind the climbs....

I think this guidebook does more than the job required.

I think we are being a little petty. I'm not saying I found it to be the holy grail of guide books but a more constructive discussion would be a thread about "What would I like to see in the next guidebook..." as mentioned above.

It is 120% better than the previous guide which was 120% better than the guide before it...

I'm not weighing into the debate on names, but I have no problem with the family friendly new names found them as ammusing as the ones with the not so creative language........
