Anybody in Berkeley/Oakland have the Sonora Pass guidebook they're willing to let me borrow for this weekend?
I'll give you (you keep them!)... 3 medium sized nuts in good condition. Sorry, I'm trying to get creative in making it worth it for you, something besides the usual 6 pack.

I have the sonora pass guidebook (in Berkeley) that you could borrow for the weekend - PM me and we can sort out when/where to do the hand-off.

To jump on this...anyone in the Bay area have a copy that they'd want to sell?

If you know the right place to go this weekend at Sonora Pass Highway area, you could buy the guidebook from the author. You can also buy the guidebook from SNAC in Sonora, which is on your way to SPH.

Thank you, Stephanie! I sent you a message and I promise I won't sell it to TaylorP :)

Support your local guidebook author. Buy the book. Also, yes you can get it at SNAC.

Unfortunately I'll be passing through Sonora too late to hit the store. If Brad is out there, I'd happily buy one off him! Wish my local gym carried it

Thanks for the support.
Although I probably don't work as much as I should on distribution of the book, we'll be home all weekend if you do want to stop by. And by "home" I mean not gone for Labor Day. We'll be in and out, at the crags with a big crowd of visiting climbers and sharing dinner with local friends.
Stopping by would be easy too; we live 9/10 of a mile off Highway 108, on the way up the hill. Call if you do want to stop: (209) five eight six 0776.
Thanks again.

Taylor, no, no high-tech methods of payment, sorry. But if you do want to stop by to get one, wouldn't just cash work?
As a bonus, we sell them for a little cheaper when they're bought direct (and no sales tax). Plus, bonus, bonus, you'd get to be barked at by the two most gorgeous retrievers in existence.
Very impressed that you tried A Pound of Flesh. When Dennis and I did that, we were each in our thirties and it pushed up to our absolute limits. I remember calling it 5.10d (and it's that in the 2001 book). Scuffy B, who's as much an offwidth expert as anyone I've ever known, gently corrected the rating some years ago. If he hadn't chimed in I would never have given it that rating because there's "no way" I can climb that hard an offwidth.
