	Crest Creek Rock Climbs Chris Barner and Ahren Rankin - Wild Isle Publications Purchase this book Crest Creek Rock Climbs is a guidebook to around 250 free and 50 aid climbs at Crest Creek Crags, Strathcona Provincial Park, BC. This hotly anticipated guidebook to one of Vancouver Island's best crag climbing areas is informative, visually stunning, seasoned with sardonic humour and features side-bars, memoirs & artwork from key local contributors. The Heathens and Wild Isle have collaborated to craft an entertaining guide that introduces us to the unique characters who have made Crest Creek a special place to climb and the routes that have drawn Island climbers and global visitors for some 30 years.

	Island Alpine Select Philip Stone Wild Isle Publications Purchase this book Island Alpine Select is a detailed guidebook to the hiking, scrambling and technical rock and ice climbs on 70 of the most challenging mountains on Vancouver Island. Around 400 routes in total! In rich, full colour the spectacular Island Alps are clearly illustrated, along with history and sound advice for planning and travelling in the rugged Island backcountry.

	Alpine Select: Climbs in Southwest British Columbia & Northern Washington Kevin McLane, Elaho Publishing Purchase this book As the title lays out, this is a book of select alpine climbs mainly in BC, but also a few in Washington. The book is interesting for being divided into a section covering all of the approaches and another covering all of the climbs. McLane writes to a high standard and this book is no exception. There are some fairly accessible day climbs in here as well as some monsters. Would you believe that there's a 37 pitch rock route only a few hours from Vancouver?
	Scrambles in Southwest British Columbia Matt Gunn Purchase this book A well put together guide to scrambling routes on many BC peaks.
	Central BC Rock Lyle Knight, Elaho Publishing Purchase this book Now a little out-of-date, but still the essential reference for the BC interior areas such as Yak Peak, Kelowna, and all the smaller crags that deserve attention but don't quite have the same draw as Skaha.
