This book invites climbers to enjoy the best of Pyrenean rock climbing in an area hitherto neglected by British climbers.
There are 500m routes on immaculate andesite on the Pic du Midi d'Ossau; 300m routes on hard sandstone in the 10 mile long, one mile deep canyon of Ordesa; whilst the 300m conglomerate climbs on the towers and walls of Riglos are mind-blowing in their stunning grandeur. Limestone is also represented at the popular Santa Elena, with its delicat slab climbing.
There is an introduction to the easier gorge descents of the remarkable Sierra Guara, where 200m deep canyons provide memorable trips.
