Does anyone know of a good guide book for San Diego County? I know the destinations section of the site is handy, but something for the field would be great.

The SD County Climbing Guide (Kennedy/Hubbard) is available from Deadpoint Press and at all area shops. It's a great county overview and almost never leaves my pack.

Hello All.  I know the last post on this was years ago, so I figured I would ask the same question again.  Any guidebooks for San diego bouldering?  Mountain Project lists problems, but no actual guide.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Time for a reprint or 3rd edition? What do you think, Mr. Hubbard?

I applaud you for researching the forums first for previous posts on the topic, instead of just starting a new one.

Also, I too am curious about what resources are out there

I think there was a newish guide for Southern California that had some San Diego info (including some bouldering); it's available at Mesa Rim.  If you can get your hands on the Hubbard guide, there's also that, but honestly I don't know how much bouldering area beta it includes.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on an acsd pocket guide? I would like to have access to a climbers topo of eagle peak and it seems that this is the only resource.

I'm pretty sure the original ACSD Pocket Guide is out of print, and I thought I heard last year that they were going to release a new one. Maybe try to reach out to someone there and find out what the scoop is? They might be nice and share a photo or digital copy of the old one at least. Keep me posted...

It's kind of a bummer, but understandable since they are working on new pocket guides. The hunt for Eagle peak beta continues!
