AS BEFORE

found they gave a good insight into foreign scrambling grades,one route described as "F sup. Includes two short pitches of grade 3" which is the kind of information we need!
when they mention a route having movable metal pegs, don't rely on them still being there!!
this is the book to carry with you, background information can be found in rough guides etc

THE GUIDE TO TAKE WITH YOU TO THE PYRENEES

Concise and informative. Concentrates on 'point to point' route information rather than longer route descriptions
Sparse background information
This is the book to take with you to the Pyrenees if you are thinking of moving higher than the GR10. One of the problems with some guidebooks is that their recommended day itineraries are simply too ambitious, particularly if you are carrying a full pack. This book concentrate on getting you through logical stretches which gives you lots of route options.

Recommended. Buy all the guides you can to plan routes; but this is the one to take with you into the hills.
