possibly: this is what Sonnie Trotter wrote on Facebook:

Yosemite update. Weather is absolutely OUTSTANDING. It's free climbing season on El Cap right now. YES! Sean Villanueva and I went up about 300 feet, and scared ourselves silly on some easy aid pitches. Tommy and Kevin are preparing the Dawn Wall for their ground up push this fall and Jorg Verhoeven from Dutchlandia is high on the Nose on his free attempt. Camp 4 is in full swing with stoked climbers from all around the World cooking rice and beans, and mulling over the new guidebook with cold beers in hand. RAD.

So yeah, he might have meant the bigwall book. Not sure.

Yo Gang!

Thank you to everyone who emailed me feedback, posted here, or reviewed our book online - we listened to all your suggestions / criticisms and spent eight months fixing up our book. A huge thanks to Marek Jakubowski for continuing to grace Yosemite climbers with his amazing design / photo / map skills!

The Revised Edition, due out this fall, has tons more approach / descent text and photos, written descriptions of the routes, dozens of new photos, all in the same 432 page, full-color, 7 x 10 book.

Here's an example from the new book - I made a photo overlay to replace the content on pages 28/29 that would introduce the first areas of the book better, and help explain why the book starts with harder routes:

 
Thanks,

Oh Yeah! I heard that was coming out soon too! Heard that the approaches will be better and lots of other Jazz. Definitely one of the best guidebooks ever published, so stoked to see what the 2nd edition will be like!

It was super fun to shoot photographs for this book with Erik and folks in Yosemite.  The revised edition looks awesome!

The spine of my book has come off, then it got water damage from a move, and then my roommate put it in the over to dry it....  To say the least I need a new one.  haha  But at least I can use the pages as a "pocket guide"
