THE CLIMBING TRAVEL GUIDE
A guidebook promoting sustainable travel by featuring the 50 best off-the-beaten track climbing destinations in the world
Rock-climbing is seeing a boom in popularity. More and more people are heading on outdoor climbing trips, and as a result, some of the famous crags are suffering from overcrowding. But there are thousands of equally beautiful climbing areas that just don’t get the same visibility. And climbing there can make a real difference to the local community.
The Climbing Travel Guide aims to give visibility to these off-the-beaten-track climbing areas. We believe that the outdoor community can pioneer a new way of traveling responsibly: away from the crowds, immersed in nature, connecting with and reinvesting in the local community, making friends for life. More than just a regular coffee table book, the Climbing Travel Guide gives you the tools to do just this.
