I have been holding my breath for (four?) years.

It is in progress. It will be a great piece of literature and a wonderful reference. I would expect that you find a few hundred or more routes. Just on the granite.

I'll keep waiting.

What Zac says. The dream is materializing and it is worth the wait.

I dare you to climb everything in the Ruckman book first.

The Ruckman guide really doesn't get enough credit.

I have to politely disagree with that. Falcon guides are usually lacking, with the exception of Smith Rocks IMO, but this guide is outdated, and over-all poor by current guidebook standards. Perhaps it was on par when it came out, but like the swami belt, or belaying a second off of the harness - let's set this one aside.

The fact is, if we can have a local guidebook (for what is a relatively small and non-destination climbing area) that is of the quality of Beehive Ice...I would be very happy to misplace my copy of the Ruckman.

Small and non-destination??

Wasatch is pushing 4000 routes on MP and LCC has about 1000 of those
