His/her feelings were hurt so he/she made a fake MP account and pretended to start a conversation about it. I think the book is stellar, and I'm glad to have it. |

It's hard to convince climbing partners to go climb some obscure routes, let alone fish around for people to take pix of. Burr and Smirh have a really good eye, I enjoy the pix they brought to the table. It just so happens we are like you, and tend to climb in the same circles. Sorry your pic wasn't printed WillyG. I hope you like the book anyway. Happy Fall season people! |

Really, REALLY!! Fuck man, you shoot the folks that are out there and that get after it with you. There is so much work putting a guidebook together that you just want to get some photos and finish the book. It is nice when an author tries to and gets a photo of all the major players in the area. Certainly nothing to gripe about on a forum. Not sure who Shingo O is but I suggest he create a calendar and have it ready by Christmas! |

I have my copy! And, this guidebook is well put together and thorough. Props to Nathan, Tyler, and Andrew. With the mayor in many shots, combined with one of the top climbing photographers in the world, what is there to criticize? Shingo has done more for the Salt Lake climbing community than almost anyone, so it it is well deserved pub. This guidebook has fueled my stoke. |

I submitted a few photos and guess what? |

Come on man! This sense of entitlement blows my mind. Why don't YOU create a guidebook? And then you can include whatever photos you want. Otherwise, curb the jealousy and say thanks for all the TIME, MONEY, and EFFORT these guys put into this book by heading over to IME and buying a copy. It's not like this was some publicly funded project or something. These guys did this out of their own pockets and they did a damn good job. That is all. |

That is all.WillyG is most likely Mountain Dreamer...which would make perfect sense considering how great of a guy he is. I'm going to follow guideline #1 and stop here. |
