The adirondack climbing book, because it opened up everything in the ADK land of northern NY.
ReplyDeleteI wish guidebooks could be more precise as to starting holds and what not, theres one problem in the gunks bouldering guide that according to Iceman, doesn't exist anywhere.
Guidebooks never have anough pictures. Now I don't mean pictures of people climbing, thats cool and all, I mean pictures of the climb itself that you can pinpoint holds locations' on.
There ya go, whats this super secret thing, are you gonna make a guide to somewhere?
Bishop Bouldering from Wolverine. Super descriptive, easy to follow directions, boner inducing pictures, and printed on tough paper.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I hate? Everything about Supertopos bouldering guides including but not limited to: wrong grades, bad directions, & inaccurate route descriptions
All guidebooks should have check boxes next to the route descriptions.
Check with multiple climbers on grades and names for accurtae information !!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo fa's it annoys people and makes for a shit load more work.
How do you guys feel about like snippets from local climbers? Like the piece by buzzy in the ADK Rock book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input btw
I like the snippets Idea get some history on each area.
