Most iconic/dense climbing faces in the continental US?

Great stuff! Purchased a Longs print! Look forward to when you get better weather in the Tetons next time around. 

Thanks! You are the first one to get Longs Peak. And the Tetons are on the very top of my list, hopefully I can get back there this summer.

I’ll put in another vote for the index town walls. Absolutely stacked with classics

This was very much on the list, but it was an absolute downpour the whole time we were in Oregon or Washington (except briefly around Bend, which let me sneak a few photos of Smith Rock).

Super nice! Can’t wait to order some of the Pacific Northwest prints!

Mount Hood would be a nice regional addition. The lines have similar density to Rainier. The (figurative and literal) prominence of the peak is extremely significant in Oregon and to a lot of PNW climbers. 

Others that may fit the bill: Mount Stuart, Wine Spires

The Upper Fins in Idaho would be neat. Specifically discovery wall. 

I second the discovery wall. I would definitely order a print 

I'm extremely excited for a Tahquitz one! I've been wanting something like this for years for Idyllwild.

Speaking of Tahquitz, does anyone know how much is missing in the 2013 Best Of Gaines guidebook compared to the 2001 one Gaines/Vogel? I am having a hard time finding a copy of the latter.

Both Bob Gaines and Randy Vogel post on this site. Bob Gaines is Bob Gaines, Randy Vogel is just Randy.  You could ask them directly thru messaging - maybe they have extra copies sitting around.

I have all earlier copies of the tahquitz topos if you need any assistance. And yes, a fair amount is missing in the Larks, but most iconic routes are in the Best of Book.

Thanks both, I contacted Bob Gaines and he very graciously agreed to send me a copy of the 2001 book. So I'll put the Tahquitz poster on hold until I receive it and work on the Needles instead.

Also, the Longs Peak poster has been updated with 4 new routes: Gambler's Fallacy, Window Pain, Conditional Love and Cannonball.

Well, 7600 miles later, I have material for a fair number of posters: Seneca Rocks, Longs Peak, Eldorado Canyon, the Flatirons, Devils Tower, Little Cottonwood, Indian Creek, Tahquitz, the Needles, the Cathedrals, more El Cap, Washington Column, Lover's Leap and Smith Rock. The weather didn't play ball in the Tetons and I ran out of time in the Sierra and the Cascades, but that's what return trips are for...

Here's a start with the Diamond and more on the East Face of Longs Peak (99 routes total!) :

The poster is available on https://www.montblanclines.com/product-page/longs-peak-east-face and you can download a middle resolution file on https://www.montblanclines.com/hd-photos.

Feedback is extremely welcome, especially if I have forgotten lines or made mistakes on some of them!

^quoting to keep this easily visible.

Well done! will definitely get an order in soon. The Diamond looks excellent!

Here is a new one, not that easy to draw all the lines with how complex the terrain is:

Beautiful. Crowd funded purchase of one for Kris Solem?

I'd be happy to give him a free one, I couldn't have done the poster without his guidebook. Does anyone know where to send it to?

Thanks for bringing me in on this. Alex just sent me a digital copy to review for correctness. So now if there's an error it's my fault...   

But seriously, it looks great. 

How do I get the a Tahquitz one?

My girlfriend received her Longs Peak poster and loves it! Keep up the great work, Alex. Will be buying more in the future for sure!

I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until I draw it, hopefully soon.

Holding out for a return trip to Index yo.
