| Arrived in the post today...
Congratulations to you and Sharp End on a fantastic guide book. I just spent the evening drooling over it.
Very motivational as well since I completed a couple of hang board sessions tonight as well.
How about someone who has a fair bit of experience in CC write up a review of it for the site??? | |

| I just picked up mine at Bent Gate last night. Great book! Will be really helpful to me this coming season. I hadn't realized before that CCC was so full of hard routes. I either need to get better, or find someplace else to climb!
The maps are great, easy to understand, and very helpful to those of us with limited knowledge of the canyon. The pitures are of course top-notch and the icons at the beginning of each section are very handy.
I feel this is a guidebook to which all others should be judged! | |

| is there any sort of bouldering in the guide, or a bouldering guide in the works? | |

| I took a look at the book. Beautiful piece of work, nice color photos and color route photos.
What's with all the mid-guide ad's though? When did this become a norm for guidebooks? (Think: Colorado Ice).
Needless to say, I did not buy it, but probably will when cash flow is better.

Just speculating here, but I imagine selling ad space is necessary to fund the cost of a nice color book like that. If I was an advertiser, I'd be much more willing to buy an ad in the middle of the book than one of 10 ads lumped together at the end, where it's easy for readers to skip the entire section without seeing any of them.
I don't mind them, personally. | |

Neptune's has store-wide 10% off til 23rd and some copies left. With $$ saved it would just about cover a bowl o'chili or beer nextdoor @ the Sun.
Nice photos, color topos & matching pink harness/tights on Fred Knapp opposite Chpt.7-tunnel 5 woohoo..! | |

i havent done enough bouldering in CCC to have done it justice. Brief mention of the maverick boulders including the namesake problem. besides those, i know of a few near the creek by eiger bridge, the new river stuff (dark water), a few below anarchy, and a couple en route to capitalist. the rainy day rock routes could be some desperate highballs if someone had enough pads...
i also didnt cover any of the ice routes.
however, it does leave some material to cover in a revision in several years... | |
