Climbing guidebook Rudawy Janowickie (4th edition)

Compared to the third edition, this is essentially a completely new and even better guide! Over the past four years, the area has gained approximately 360 (!) new or previously undescribed routes and variants.

The author has expanded the book with hundreds of descriptions that provide a good understanding of the character and quality of individual routes. He has also improved the way routes are marked on the photos. New symbols have also been introduced, including red stars highlighting the area’s classics, and pink symbols indicating routes suitable for children.

In addition, the quality of the maps has been improved, and information on parking lots and approach routes has been updated.

Finally —last but not least—the book is a delight to look through thanks to the superb climbing photographs, which beautifully showcase the gems of the Rudawy Janowickie. Many photographers contributed their photos, with a special contribution from Wojtek Kucharski—the creator of about 50 photographs, including the cover photo.
