Looks like there is one for ropes, and then there's one with ropes and selected boulders. Appreciate suggestions.

The new edition of the Cole Fennel book includes extensive ropes and bouldering climbs, but I think the only volume out is volume 1 Horseshoe Canyon. It does include 500+ roped climbs and 400+ boulders.

I've been using the 2nd edition that cover smite of the state, but is light on boulders for years.

Just checked their website for the other volumes and saw that the previous editions were split.

Cole Fennel is amazing. I love the rock climbing book. If you want to boulder all over I'd get the Arkansas bouldering book. If you want to rope climb all over get the 2nd edition rock climbing book. Although both are being updated currently in the next few years, but the majority of the book will still be relevant.

They're well written and well photographed. Easy to use.

If you're coming for a quick trip, you can't go wrong with just climbing horseshoe canyon and buying the combined, newer rope and bouldering book 3rd edition.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
