i just moved to Golden from NY where the Gunks has a stellar app. With all these new crags to explore, i'd love to buy any used climbing guide books that people want to offload. would be interested in buying:

clear creek
eldo
boulder canyon
North Table Mountain
Flatirons
south platte
estes park
etc

definitely flame me if some of the above don't have guidebooks!

i will also post in the partner forum but contact me if you're looking for a climbing partner! Lead trad 5.10 and sport 5.11 ish.

Danny:

Next time you are in Boulder swing by the Trident book store on Pearl Street. They have a pretty good selection of used guidebooks. Note that you probably won't get the latest guide to a given area, but you can always supplement an older book with the MP.com app on your phone.

"table mesa" is a little confusing: North Table Mountain is a popular area in Golden - the best place to climb when it is cold out since it faces south and west and is a dark rock. Table Mesa in Boulder is adjacent to the Flatirons which are mostly known for very long easy slab climbs, but there are plenty of sport routes and a few dramatic pinnacles as well.

Enjoy, David
