| Hey all,
I'm considering a trip through the Sawtooths, Tetons, WRR, and RMNP in July/August/September to climb some classic alpine routes. I'm in the midst of researching which guidebooks are most current for these areas. Any suggestions for guidebooks or any other info is much appreciated.

| Teton Rock Climbs by Aaron Gams just came out, very nice decriptions and photos. The old Rossiter guide, Tetons Classics, is still pretty good too. |

| Is the new Gams guide all digital like his older one? |

| There's a couple small ones for RMNP, but really it's the two Gillett books and the two Rossiter that are pretty much the authority for that area. |

| For the Tetons, it's Ortenburger and Jackson's A Climber's Guide to the Tetons, 3rd Ed. One of the best, most comprehensive guidebooks for any American range. |

| R. Jackson’s “climbers guide to the Tetons” for mountaineering routes. J. Kelsey’s “climbing and hiking in the Wind River Mountains”. Wes Gooch covers day climbing in “rock climbing Jackson hole & pinedale”, he also has info on his website ‘climbingwyoming.com’. if you have a smartphone, the mountain project app is worthy. |

I would add that when you buy a guidebook, in my opinion, you should also consider the source and how that source has helped the climbing world. Supporting Renny Jackson, who spent 40 years working on that book and in the meantime rescued hundreds of fallen climbers and worked to make sure mountains were accessible to climbers, is exactly what you should do. Also, this book has lots of Teton history and science in it... bonuses these days in a guidebook, but once important info.
Buy Rennys book. |
