Wolcott? Looks like something out in that vicinity.

Matt is correct. Maybe he didn’t see my earlier acknowledgment.

Oops, my bad. Name one of the areas covered, or the general region (this is a best-of for a geographic region):

Probably Romper Room easy for many people (and I realized the guidebook name could be read through the blue painters tape)

that’s the delaware water gap but i don’t know the book and didn’t see the title. 

still waiting to hear where Matt’s sick rock is located too.

Huh? Was this intended to be a guess for my book? (if it was, it's not correct). Here's a hint of another photo from the guidebook. This should narrow it down substantially:

Now I want to know where in Wyoming you thought my 2nd photo was from. Is there really limestone that good out there?

One last hint that should do the trick.

Edit: Nope, not Spain, but close.

ok. i thought the second one was a different look at Devils Tower. 

I’ll adjust my guess to a best of Spain?

petzl logic · · Unknown Hometown · Joined Aug 2013 · Points: 730

not spain?

not delaware water gap?

Corsica?

Greece?

None of the above. One more hint: this guidebook specifically covers rock routes that do not involve snow/ice approaches.

Indeed. This is the 2nd volume of Itineraires d'un grimpeur gate (intineraries/routes of a spoiled climber). 

The guides cover some of the best multipitch routes/walls in the french alps (down to the Mediterranean sea) in the 6a-7c range. It's not very good as a guidebook (very limited beta) but is incredible as a vacation planner for a US climber unaware of the major climbing formations in the region. I bought it near the end of my time in the area and was already scheming a return trip by the next day. Holy cow there's so much good face climbing out there.

Ha!  My dumb ass guess was based on double ropes and her hair!

Yes, Delaware Water Gap.  Sorry, I just upvoted to confirm.  That's probably not the best system.

Since no one got it, it’s McCall Idasippi.  Here’s another one:

If anyone needs a copy, make me an offer!
