  Well-known writer/photographer Jon Sparks has teamed up with Judith Brown to produce a book that bridges the gap between scrambling and climbing The Lake District has a lot of England's best scenery - and a lot of its best rock. This book will help you make the most of it. By linking scrambles and easy climbs (up to V Diff) it opens up a host of immensely satisfying days out, most of which end up on a summit or a ridge. There's helpful advice on many vital matters: how to get started and how to progress; the best routes for beginners; routes that are safe in the wet, and routes to avoid; not forgetting where the best pubs are to round off a great day in the time-honoured fashion. But above all, whether you're a beginner or an experienced climber, this book will show you where to go for great days out on great Lakeland rock.
