Looks like the Chockstone book is out of print. I saw that Bob posted he was doing some revisions for a new edition (two years ago). Will the "Rock Climbing Colorado" book suffice?

naughty bull

e-mail either Bob or Stewart. Both guys are willing to help out. My favorite is the Arch Rock, but there is plenty to be had in this canyon. I thought the routes: Overleaf & Pine Away were more difficult than anticipated for moderate trad; otherwise, I haven't really climbed a route I didn't favor there. Have fun Dude!

Bob D' is still working away on his new Elevenmile guide and I am doing a major revision of Rock Climbing Colorado for the second edition that will have more of Elevenmile and lots of new stuff...but that won't be out til next summer. Email me if you want any beta on new routes and crags and such...I know about lots of new stuff that is either bolted, gear or a combo... Also Bill Schmasser is putting together an on-line guide and is hoping to post that soon. And Mark is right...there are very few bad routes in the canyon and the classics in the books are still the best stuff...Stewart

Print out a mp.com mini guide :-)

I use the Rock Climbing Colorado book. Plenty to keep you busy and has good information to help you find the crags.

One of my favourite weekend camp and climb areas.

Bob D and Bob Wade on maybe the third or fourth ascent.

My old 11 Mile guide is sorely outdated and from the start wasn't that good. It was done by Chockstone Press at a time when George was selling it to Falcon Press...the book was never edited and just kind of thrown together, It serve a purpose but there have been at least 150 new routes done in the Canyon since the book was published.

Hopefully a new one (in the next year) will appear. Feel free to contact me for any information you may need.
