Ward? Lots of stuff going on, with the prospective purchase of the NW crags (pos new parking and trail) and a flurry of new routing, so I imagine he is holding off finishing right now so it isn't instantly too outdated. Otherwise, I thought it was very close to going to the printer. I haven't asked him about it lately though.

It WILL be out this year, hopefully by Summer, or I will solo Predator (just kidding).

Not going to worry about NW crags expansion, etc.

Looking forward to it. Makes sense since NW stuff will probably be evolving for a few years.

You can preorder it at the link above. It's been "coming soon" for years now. Don't worry though, the website says that it's "expected early 2016". In all seriousness, I think it will be out before fall and it will be pretty awesome. I'm happy/sad about the coverage for Kinsman Notch. I'd like to hope it will steal some of the crowd away from Rumney but I know I'm a dreamer. :)
