South Platte Climbing: The Thunder Ridge and Turkey Rock edition - GUIDEBOOK REVIEW
|
About six years ago Jason Haas and Ben Schneider shared with me and a few others an epic project they were scheming: a new South Platte climbing guidebook. I was overwhelmed with the idea, knowing how much my good friend Pete had poured into covering this vast region. The thought alone of a trying to cram a tome of that magnitude into an already heavy Platte pack was exhausting enough. Logically the answer was to tackle it by releasing it in volumes - Lord of the Rings style. A few long years later, Fixed Pin Publishing set a new standard with South Platte Climbing, The Northern Volume. |

Awesome, thanks Darren! Looking forward to getting the new guide! |

Exciting! I often pour over the North Vol looking at all the places I have to go and the long approach numbers. Too bad we're about to jump info winter! And that all future volumes will be even a long drive for me. :) |

Hiro - I have spent many a winter day climbing in the Platte in a t-shirt. |

Looking forward to this, thanks for the heads up. Wally wrote:Hiro - I have spent many a winter day climbing in the Platte in a t-shirt. WallyI climbed on Sheeps Nose and hiked in to Turkey Rocks almost every weekend one winter when I lived in the Springs. It's like the banana belt down there, even when it snows it melts off pretty fast. |
