Rock Climbing Europe
KRT Wire | 05/15/2006 | Climber, author tackles Old World in search of new rock
Free climber Stewart Green has a new book out entitled Rock Climbing Europe
"When I started going to Europe in the 1990s, it was difficult to find information there," he says. "You had to translate guides from French and Italian, and all you had were hand-drawn topo maps and no photographs."
Green's guide includes climbing routes with maps and photos in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Germany and Norway - all places, he says, that are steeped in a great climbing tradition.
