Product DescriptionMyriad domes and buttresses of fine granite, pleasant forest slopes, a delightful mountain stream, miles of blue sky, and resplendent sunshine-this climbing in Colorado's Boulder Canyon. An abundance of bolted sport climbs and naturally protected crack routes combine to make this canyon one of the most popular destinations in the Boulder area. Rock Climbing Boulder Canyon is the first book in a series of three that replaces Richard Rossiter's out-of-print Boulder Climbs North and Boulder Climbs South. Including full coverage of Upper Dream Canyon and also information about ice routes, this meticulously researched book is complemented by Rossiter's masterfully drawn maps and topos. Rock Climbing Boulder Canyon is the book to have if you want to explore this amazing climbing resource.

From the Back Cover
The out-of-print Boulder Climbs North and Boulder Climbs South have been revamped and republished as three separate volumes. This is the first of the three, covering all trad and sport crags in the canyon. Former park ranger Richard Rossiter is a master when it comes to maps and topos, and his detailed, accurate route descriptions make this book essential for anyone intending to climb in Boulder. Includes favorites such as Castle Rock, Elephant Buttresses, Cobb Rock and the new Upper Dream Canyon area. Ice climbs are also featured.

Reviews
| earthquakes | Nice Guide... | | 
Voted 1/5 | probably the bible of Boulder Canyon. Most topo's are easy to read and are accompanied by B&W photo's of the crag. I've seen better books for other areas, but this one suffices for BC.
The addition of ice climbing information is a bonus.
Edit: Update (8/2008), after having used this book more extensively, I don't really like it after all. The b&w topo drawings SUCK ASS. The b&w pictures SUCK MORE ASS. Most routes are not even drawn on the b&w pictures...not sure why. If you mention a route in your book, please show it on the photo's or the topo...geesh! I really hope a new guide comes out that is similar to the Clear Creek Canyon guide by Darren Mabe. | | Posted Dec 13, 2007 4:44 pm |
