WEST CORNWALL - CHAIR LADDER & THE LIZARD

The perfect companion to Bosigran and the North Coast this guidebook details the climbing on the rugged south coast of Cornwall between Land’s End and Penzance. Granite pre-dominates with Chair Ladder being the stand-out crag. However the many coves and headlands of this convoluted coast give hundreds of quality climbs across the grades.

In contrast to the granite crags the routes on The Lizard Peninsula are composed of a complex set of metamorphic rocks including Serpentine. These give a different style of climbing on a spectacularly rugged piece of coastline that includes England’s most southerly point.

Extensively researched by local activists with years of rock climbing experience on the south coast of West Cornwall, this definitive guidebook was written by Paul Harrison, Pete Greening and Tom Last with The Lizard section being written by David Hope. It was edited by Des Hanigan with artwork by Simon Cardy, Mark Davies and Don Sargeant.
