I am in the process of revising Rock Climbing: Minnesota and Wisconsin. The new edition will feature color photos and will be available Spring 2012.

I invite everyone to contribute information so that the new edition is as accurate as possible. Please visit the revision web site to learn how to contribute. I need all of your input by December 31, 2010.

Please read the FAQ on that web page for more information about the revision. It's important to note that I won't be using information posted on Mountainproject.com; I need the information directly from individual climbers. Also, please submit your info using the spreadsheets I provide rather than sending me emails. See the FAQ for more info.

I'll be posting occasional progress reports and other guidebook related stuff on my blog and I also have a Facebook page .

Unfortunately I don't have time to visit this forum so I won't be reading any replies to this post.

I'll be visiting Blue Mounds, Taylors Falls, Red Wing, and Devils Lake over the next few weeks to take photos. I hope to see you at the crags.

No familar with the current book. Will the following areas be in the book?

Grandads
Necedha/Pentwell Bluffs
Governer Dodge
Wyaulsing (ICE)

Going through all of the documentation it doesn't look like he is adding new areas except for sandstone.

Looking back at what i said... It doesn't make sense to publish areas i was talking about, since those area are already have some access issues and more traffic to those areas will have a negitive effect.

Ice should not be in the MW's "rock" guidebook. All of the Wyalusing routes worth climbing more than once are in Eric's book, Superior Ice.

I would side with Chris on this as well for the "smaller" areas.
