Yup, but what version?? Regardless, you're up ... and If know it I am not going post up. Time to let some others in on the fun.

I think it's the 3rd edition from 1962. Here is a more modern book that should be pretty recognizable for someone new to identity.

I'll probably only get one chance at this, so hopefully this one will be a bit of a challenge.

Edited, MP Merchant I didn't refresh and I think you did beat me, sorry

Second edit - do people need a hint?  Location, western US.  Rock type, limestone.

@Troy - Rock Climbs in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, 3rd edition By Ed Webster.

As no one yet has figured out MP Merchant's I am going to pass to whomever figure's that one out.

This is the cover of the book Troy guessed correctly above.

I’ve got a copy of the White Mountain guide for sale if anyone is interested.

$25 includes shipping 



It’s signed by Ed Webster, but unfortunately it’s made out to a bunch of random people!

I was initially thinking that it was one of Randy's early Hunk Guide to Orange County but the date 1987 is too late and Randy's guides were never a hand written photocopy.

All right MC post up the answer ... and not more handwritten scribble guides!!

This one has stumped me as well. From your clue, maybe a very early Woodson guide?

Edit: Heh! Apparently we posted at the same time.

@Dr. GIll. That would appear to be your notes, err guide of climbs at Devil's Lake.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
