Where's Crock Wall? 16-Jun-2014 At 11:25:49 AM gfdonc

I've been pulling info from contributors, Chockstone, thecrag and the VCC website into one document and editing for consistency. I'm currently up to 119 A4 pages, although some of that has hard line endings. I haven't folded in material from earlier guides, such as Melon's 1991 guide.

It seems thecrag is often aligned with BA's text but with usually more brief descriptions and the occasional typo. In many cases I've been using thecrag to check grades and pitch lengths, then adopting the longer descriptions. The VCC website seems to be a more accurate and complete source of truth, albeit older.

I still have a bunch of crags with no route descriptions, although I have half a file of text to check through still. In particular: Blockbuster Buttress, The Grand Canyon, Wall of China, Socrophiliac Buttress, Fallen Giant, Beanstalk Wall, Wurzelgummage, "Old Wave Wall", parts of The Sundial and the Guardians, among others.

If anyone can loan me a copy of the RockGuide from a few years ago that would be helpful. Prime Media have not responded to my enquiries about ordering from stock, if any still exist. Looking for any additional input.
