Dow WilliamsGreat Guide Book...

Voted 5/5

I must have referenced this book over 1000 times on this website and others. It is my 2nd favorite guide book. Ice routes are difficult to assemble for a guide book as conditions obviously change from year to year. Something WI 5 one year can be WI 3 the next, etc. Bottom line is he does a super job via the descriptions and you feel he has climbed most of the routes himself. The photos are all of good quality.

UncleBobThe standard water ice guide to the rockies

Voted 5/5

Hard to go wrong with this book. If you're only going to bring one guidebook for rockies ice, this is the one.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
