After many years of work, I am pleased to announce that there is a new guidebook for the Black Canyon...

The Black. A Comprehensive Climbing Guide to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is available through K. Daniels Publishing:

kdanielspublishing.com/shop…

At 512 pages, this full color guidebook is packed with dozens of new lines, detailed approach information and pitch by pitch descriptions, pictures of the walls, first ascent stories, historic photos and action shots, ten essays and hand drawn topos for some of the better routes in the Black.

A huge debt of gratitude goes to Josh Wharton, Jonathan Schaffer, Ed Webster, Topher Donahue, Kent Wheeler, Steve Levin, Jeff Achey, Robert Warren, Jimmy Newberry and so many others who helped make this book happen.

See you in the Black this fall!

Vic,
I've been patiently awaiting this guidebook ever since I caught a glance at some of the beautiful hand drawn topos at the ranger station a while back (I assume this one and the same). That being said, I had a heck of a time trying to find it before thinking to run a search on MP. I'm not sure if you can, but perhaps you can suggest that K. Daniels publishing update their meta tags to make this easier on the internets to find as I'm sure people will prefer this to the outdated Robbie Williams guidebook...

Ordered this book in July and still haven't seen it .
Have tried multiple forms of communication with no answer; just been chilling but this is obviously getting ridiculous.
There were multiple issues in August with people not getting their books .
Not sure if that's still going on or not .

Riley - I just emailed the publisher directly with your post. I'm not sure what the hold up is. I know that many folks have received their books within a few days of making the order. Let me know if you don't hear something in the near future and I will send you a book myself. Sorry that you've had to wait. I hope you enjoy the book!

All the best,

Vic
