Sick!!

Purchased!  Thanks for the hard work put into this!

So psyched to have a new book that covers charleston!  

Big thanks to everyone involved (and route developers).  I know these guides aren't easy to put together.

Can't Wait!

Ordered mine straight away.  Thanks for the hard work Jerry.  An updated guide for all of the awesome limestone here has been sorely needed.  

looks nice, i ordered one.  can't wait to check it out.  thanks for putting it together.

I've seen the book.  It's of the same high quality, and it's huge, basically the same as the Red Rock book.  

Just got the book. It really is truly amazing. Well done, Jerry!

Psyched!!! Now maybe it'll be easier to convince people to climb obscure Vegas limestone with me.

One question from the table of contents - was the 5G wall at Potosi developed too recently to be included or is it listed in the contents as something else?

Love your guidebook on Red Rock. I’m curious to see this new one

Very cool! Any plans to have an electronic version (ideally epub)?

I think the developer(s) have concerns about limited parking and access issues that negated making it published to the masses.  From what I've gathered, development is still very much ongoing there too.

wow, already got mine in the mail.  took a quick look through it, and it looks fantastic. nice work!

Yup, top notch like the Red Rock guide.

Any sort of potential access concerns have been figured out since 100% of the parking,trail, and crag are on non-wilderness public lands. Parking shouldn’t be an issue(just park farther away) really more than anything this crag is brand new and Jerry had to create some sort of deadline so that he could get the book printed. Either way the crag isn’t a secret, and if you’re carrying up all your gear it’ll be a 2 hour approach for most people so crowding probably won’t really be a problem ;). Also the 5G is only one out of about 10 walls just up at potosi that didn’t make it, because at some point things just need to be published. I’ll be getting the guide immediately!

Exactly, no climbing guide is truly comprehensive.  Just snapshots in time.  Climbing is ever-evolving, new areas and routes are being established all the time. Access issues come and go.  Holds break, columns of rock fall, hand jams get polished, route names get redacted.

You're slow on the draw Raether! I'm out here in the frozen North flipping through my copy already!

So rad to see all routes I had heard whispers about finally in print.

Damn dude! You’re super fast I only saw that it was officially out, because of your Facebook post. I should get mine today. I hope Jerry sell a ton!

Never is a long time...

But even you gotta admit those pics in the new book are sweet, right?

Thanks for all you've done,, but no thanks for the spite.

Stay classy,
