Does anyone have an electronic copy of River Rock, the Mississippi Palisades (IL) guidebook? I tried finding one earlier but they're out of print, and the MP page is very poorly organized/incomplete.

jon-

I have a few copies of the Wiegand's guide (and the 71 with Jay Stewart - the yellow paper copy) when I purchased the Hoofers Mountaineer Library. Let me know if you still need them. Roger is still climbing - going to see him next month in RMNP for his 50th wedding anniversary party.

I've heard from a reliable source that it will be out the end of August unless some unforeseen delay occurs.

Would that reliable source be the horse's mouth himself? ;)

Never saw the 'dirty 30' book...looks fun. My first copy was a Xerox copy of a Xerox copy of a ...." " :",,,and on...of the Morris edition for Hoofers. My copy is on big legal paper, 2 pages at a time, and 'bound' with two old paint sticks tied through it all. I treasure that version of all those 'F5 to F9+ routes, where nothing even was Yosemite decimal, and certainly they denied the existence of 5.10 or beyond , so they had a whole lot of F9+ routes in that book that we know today were some of the first 5.11s or better for that time.

PM sent to Doug.  I have a copy of the Gibraltar sport climbing/coloring book if you still need it.
