Some Gritstone Climbs
''Some Gritstone Climbs'' is a rock climbing guidebook written by British lawyer John Laycock (1887–1960). The book's subtitle, included uniquely on the frontispiece, is ''Some Shorter Climbs (in Derbyshire and Elsewhere)''. It was published in Manchester in 1913 by the Refuge Printing Department (then an insurance company). Although focusing on rock climbing in the Peak District, it covers several adjacent cliffs outside this region, and despite its title, referring to the Millstone Grit (or gritstone) geology of many of the cliffs, it includes several cliffs consisting of other rock types, including Mountain Limestone and Red sandstone. It is regarded as the first ever published rock climbing guidebook for the Peak District National Park. ''Some Gritstone Climbs'' is one of the earliest guidebooks to rock climbing in the United Kingdom: ''Climbing in the British Isles'' by W. P. Haskett-Smith was published in 1894 and the climbing guide ''The Climbs on Lliwedd'', by J. M. A. Thompson and A. W. Andrew, in 1909.

It is in hardback format, with a dark green cover. The book contains a dedication to 'S. W. Herford', referring to Siegfried Herford, a pioneer rock climber and close friend of Laycock. Herford went on to climb the famous Central Buttress route on Sca Fell, and was killed at Ypres in 1916, shortly after the book's publication.
