Does anyone know of any shops that still have copies of Inland Northwest Rock Climbs by Marty Bland? Or is anyone interested in selling/renting their copy? MountainGear apparently had copies as recently as a year or two ago, but they are now out of stock and closing shop altogether.

Mountain Gear is closing? That's sad. I had a copy of Bland's guide, but I think I loaned it to someone and it never came home. :-(

Thanks for the suggestions. Those places are out of copies as well. Since it is out of print I may just be out of luck.

Still looking for a copy of this book as well... Anyone looking to sell theirs or any new ideas on where to find one?

I have one I'm willing to part with. Never been in a pack or at a crag.

Planned to move to Spokane, got sent to Walla Walla instead...

Whoa, I’m still lookin too! Geo is stealing my thunder. No love for the op.

Oh that wasn't my intent. With the discussion dying off after Krimit offered you the book made me think you were all set Joe!

I was just kidding, Geo! It's all good. I'm glad you were able to get a copy. I'll find one eventually. 

On that note, I'm still in the market if anyone has a copy they want to offload.

Bump. I'm still looking too...

If you find two, definitely interested in one as well!

Oh man well bump I guess from me three. How are there not even copies for sale on like ebay? I asked at mazama store last summer and the guy was like "I've never heard of it". All the makings of a legend... PM, I'll definitely pay fair value or make an access fund donation in return.

Are most of the areas not listed here on MP? It seems like there's a lot of interest in this book, is it as a historical collectable, or is there just not beta on these places otherwise?

I'd call places like Ramblerraven, or Wonderland, etc. Those kinda places get randon stuff all the time and I'd think they'd get one randomly.. eventually..

There are a handful of areas that are covered well in the book that do not exist on MP. Its not a collectors item from what I can tell, it just has the goods.

Haven't seen it in ramble raven and I frequent there probably once every other week.

Small possibility the author still has copies. He did 15 long years ago: cascadeclimbers.com/forum/t…

If you search him, you can find his "bland masonry" facebook page.  That is one way to contact him and see if he has any copies.

BUMP

Anyone have any luck finding one?

I'd also like to get one.

Grant Adams · · Unknown Hometown · Joined Jul 2019 · Points: 164

I found one and gave it to my buddy. Can see if he could scan some pages.

I can part with this copy. It’s in new, unused condition. I’ll take bids.

How much do you want for it?
