| Hi All, The Northern Colorado Climbers Coaltion has just released a new guidebook for the Poudre Canyon. The book, Poudre Canyon Route Climbing, features over 375 routes (of all grades) and 100+ pages, including full color maps, topos, action shots, detailed descriptions, and historic info that exhibit the canyon in a way never before seen. Building on the Poudre Canyon guidebook by Rodney Ley & Steve Allen (1972), the Greyrock guides of Pat McGrane (1985) and Craig Luebben (1991), and the Palace guide by Sam Shannon and Tim Wilhelmi (2004), our book combines past historical resources with countless interviews from first ascentionists and local climbers. Our goal with the project is to provide accurate and well researched information so climbers may experience the outstanding climbing and history the Poudre Canyon has to offer. As always, it is a free download, so be sure to check it out and let us know what you think! The guide is dedicated to the late Craig Luebben, who helped get the project rolling and provided countless resources prior to passing away last summer.

| All I can say is . . . Wow?!?!? The work that you have put into these and your generosity in giving the freely to the climbing community is uncharacteristic but highly commendable.
To use the downloading music metaphor, I would like to be the first to suggest that you still go ahead with the publication of all this NoCo climbing in one big, beautiful "Climbing NoCo Guidebook." While I have freely downloaded your PDFs, if you were to come out with an actual guidebook, I would be the first to support the organization and buy your book. |

| I like having print guide books. If a print version comes out, I will buy it.
Great job on these guides. |

| I'd buy one. I can toss a book in the back of the car and go. That makes life easy. That's worth $30 over the years to have if not on one given weekend. Printing the thing out would cost a ream of paper, a binder, and a cartridge or two anyway. |

| Very, very nice job. Thanks for the effort. I have all of the other Front Range guidebooks pretty much memorized, so it is good to investigate a new area and build a tick list. Thanks again, guys. |

| Looks Great. 2nd the idea of making an Hard Copy Version. I'd buy one even though I don't live in the state. I like to support quality quidebook authors when I can.
If a print version isn't in the future - has anyone looked into something like using an online publishing site? Obviously Copyright holders need to ok this.
Hence the reason I want to throw money their way first. |

| The guidebook rocks. I would surely buy a hard copy. Thanks for all the hard work, time, money and dedication that goes into new route development and guidebook publication. |

| So how many people would buy a copy if 100% of the author/publisher profit went to charity? Is there a good sized market?
Any shop-owners willing to carry the book at 'non-profit' in order to increase the total amount going to charity? |

| I would buy it. I basically collect guidebooks. It's pretty much the only reading I do. |
