New guide to Lofoten climbing. Ed Webster’s classic guide Climbing in the Magic Islands was reprinted last year. However, the Nord Norsk Klatre Skole and RockFax are collaborating to produce a new rock-climbing guide to the Lofoten Islands, including all new routes put up in the 10 years since the last guide. There is also a plan to produce a small guide to the superb granite peaks around Narvik, which are virtually unknown outside Norway. Publication dates have not been fixed but are not likely to be before 2007.
