1000 Classic Joshua Tree Routes - New Guide
|
In regards to Miramonte's books. The extra routes in his recently published 2nd edition are almost exclusively boulder problems. I don't think it was a great idea to combine a bouldering book with a climbing book just for bulk issues alone, but if one is looking for value, you do get two for one I guess. Makes for one big book to haul back to climb Bighorn Dihedral if you are not willing to tear out pages or prepared enough to copy in advance. Only a handful of new roped additions in the 2nd edition and none have stood out as must do climbs to me yet. |

Randy, I can't wait for the Central Guide to come out. The West guide did a really great job of what is one of the toughest things about Josh - Navigating the maze of corridors, hidden formations and finding the routes. |
|
That big horn dihedral looks amazing! Someone needs to add that climb the database. |
|
Does it include all of the highest quality, most awesome routes no matter how obscure or remote they are? Or does it just focus on the 1000 that are most convenient to access or are concentrated near other routes? |

Josh, |
|
Thanks Randy! Nevertheless - looks like a great book. |
|
Randy I have your JT WEST tome. Ive read the past posts and news about your JT Central color book coming out as the next volume in your three volume All of Josh collection. what is the ETA for JT CENTRAL and EAST? |
|
I just got this book. I like it, but wish it had route lengths on it. All-in-all, a well-done book. I look forward to Joshua Tree-Central, too. |
|
Randy thanks for all the hard work! |

FrankPS wrote: The reason I like route lengths, is so I can decide if I want to do it. For example, I'd be less inclined to do a 35-40 foot route and more inclined to do a 90 foot route.Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I can understand that. While in most cases it should be pretty obvious how long (short) routes may be, it is something I will definitely add to this guide when it is redone (there are also a number of typo and other errors that need to be fixed as well). I'm always interested in feedback and/or suggestions on ways to improve any of the guides. |
