Features

We  keep this section stocked with FREE features and climbing info! Whether you're sport climbing in Spain, you want to find out more about trad climbing in the Lake District or you just want some inspiration for a new destination follow the links below.

The latest features to be added are John Horscroft's Crag of the Month and Lovely Lines series, Libby Peter's mid-grade crag tour, plus how to abseil safely and self rescue. Plus don't miss the excellent essays by Neil Gresham on climbing grades and ethics.

Finally the third and final part in our successful Alpine Climber series came with the July issue of Climber, you can find the Alpine Climber part two supplement here at the Climber features library. 

In case any of the climbing jargon in the articles is new to you we've also added a new climbing glossary to help you out - we're going to be adding to it over the next few months, so if you don't find what you're after let us know.

If you're after up to date info on the best bouldering circuits in the UK, then who best to turn to than the expert Stone Circles team of Simon Panton and Ray Wood. Each month Climber magazine visits a different bouldering venue, and reports back on the latest bouldering news. Photo: Ray Wood
