Der ElbsandsteinführerBernd Arnold Panico AlpinverlagA facsimile of a previous guidebook which has since gone out of print. This one, too, is going out of print, so get it fast if you want one. It's written by Bernd Arnold and describes the best routes in Elbsandstein. A great general guidebook to the area. |

TOPO-Kletterführer - Ostteil Sächsische SchweizYour general go-to book for climbing in Elbsandstein. If you're just visiting and don't want to stay in one small area, this would be a good one to get for a general overview of the whole Elbsandstein area. However, depicted climbs are in the Sächs. scale of 6 and above. Thus, if you're a beginner or uncomfortable with climbing here, this guidebook might not be too useful. |

Europe - Sport VerticalBy David Atchison-Jones, Jingo Wobbly PublishingThis is an overview book that sets out to list every single crag on the European continent a la Tim Toula's "Rock N' Road". Intended for a broad audience of various languages, the book uses an absurdly complex assortment of symbols & numbers to "describe" each crag without the use of text. The book is in full color, with plentiful glossy photos of various crags. This isn't a guidebook in the classic sense, but it can be a good way to learn about the locations & raw statistics of the multitude of little known crags in Europe. The book indicates number of routes, height of cliff, length of approach, sun exposure, and relative quality for more than 2600 sport, bouldering & alpine crags. The book also points you in the direction of the pertinent local guidebooks. Its a nice reference book, but probably not too useful once you're on the road. Set it on the coffee table or near your procelain throne for a few minutes of inspiration when the local weather is bad. |

Rock Climbing EuropeStewart Green, Falcon GuidesRock Climbing Europe is the perfect starting point for Americans on their way to Europe. The book is far from comprehensive, so ensure that your destination is included before laying out $40 or so. If your destination is included, expect explicit, robust, American-style route descriptions (a rarity in European guides) & photo-topos, all prefaced with a good deal of "Lonely Planet"-style traveler information. The book also follows the Falcon Guide system of providing tips on lodging/camping and where to find amenities in the local area. The book is encyclopedic is size, so you may want to xerox the key sections if you're going for a short trip. |
