one of my favorite spots, second edition 

You’re up!

ha, i didn’t want to claim it since i’m traveling - i’m just really excited to start climbing again there ASAP. 

can you do another?

Since the location should be obvious, looking for the title and author. 

Free climbs of Devil’s Tower

Dingus McGee and the Lost Pioneer Woman

I used to own that guidebook but I think I sold it when I was moving down here. I’m on my way to the climbing gym. so I can’t post anything until late this afternoon. So if there’s anyone here who’s a lurker or just hasn’t had a chance to post much, go ahead and take a turn. If no-one seizes the day, I’ll post later.

Back from the gym!  I still had the Devil's Tower pamplet  Above is my challenge pic...

Edited to say I'm 0ff-line the rest of the night.  Will give hints tomorrow if no one gets it.

Well, this is an obscure guidebook.  Published 1988.  Cost at the time 7.95 pounds. 

If no one can guess by noon PST, the country and region is the winner.

No guesses yet!  Here is the back cover. Naming the country will win!

Not Spain or Greece.  

Looks vaguely familiar, but cannot place it. Nice taste in music though!!!

Spain or Greece...

Spain.

Switzerland. Maybe Interlaken???

Mexico

LOL, not Switzerland, not Mexico! There aren't many countries left!  It's the European country my grandparents are all from...

MICHAEL MULLENDORE YOU ARE UP NEXT!!!

FRONT COVER IL MURO SCONOSCIUTO E3 6A, zona delle Gare, Bismantova

BACK COVER CRAZY HORSE E2 5B, SASSO DI REMENNO AREA, MELLO

Italy

Going to guess eastern Austria. Wherever it is, you'll have to tell us what routes the cover/back cover photos are - they look great!

Keeping with the obscure theme-this is the most obscure book I own

Let's get 'er going again...paired with one of my older guidebooks...(Andy Nisbet & Rab Anderson)

This one has been posted before but was an earlier edition.  Kinda sad, the author just passed.  That's him on the left:

Looks like the Dolomites but I have no idea of the specifics. Maybe someone else can get it (if I’m right).  

That’s got’a be an old one Brian.  Right side pic, Sella Towers, Steger front and center!

Ron James guide to the Dolomites West and East.  Yep.  Passed away at home age 90 on 01 March.

Actually, RKM it's his newest (2005).  Updated the old 1988 guidebook.  We helped rescue a pair of Brits who'd rapped off an old anchor no longer in use in the Cinque Torre which they'd found in the older James guidebook.  

Good ol' Steger!
