The obvious green crag seen lurking in the woods near the village of the same name as you hotfoot it back down the A5 to the home counties after a glorious weekend cragging in Snowdonia, the one that makes you wonder whether anyone has bothered climbing there.... Little do you know that it is "a crag of national importance with lines to rival any", well, according to this new guide at least!

A work of a great enthusiast for his local outcrop; in fact Nick Dixon (who also wrote the latest and much acclaimed CC Cloggy guide). Loads of colour photo topos to the climbs and extensive bouldering plus many colour phoyos (and actually it's not green at all!). Plus the first 500 sold are accompanied by a free DVD "The Nesscliffe Witch Project" which promises to become a collector's item.

Card cover, 60 pages.

Over 1000 routes on Jersey from Mod to E7. Good clear monochrome photo-topos and a good selection of other photos, some in colour, though the lack of captions is irritating. Front cover that looks like something snowy in t'alps and peculiar aphabetical first ascents list adds to the general quirkiness. By Kevin Eloury. Card cover, 188 pages.

Does not cover Guernsey.

The Jersey Rock Climbing Club also has lots of information on rock climbing in Jersey.
