This one is out of print, much in demand, and also widely reviled.

Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca, Brad Johnson. Had a fun hunt to buy that book in Huaraz last summer.

West Side, by Charlie Fowler and Damon Johnston

btw I was the editor and fact checker for Brad’s book, after climbing with him in Peru.

You're tough to stump, George! Even with the coffee rings. It is the Wild, Wild West.

My copy of WWW is 345 miles away from me now, although I’ve climbed Psycho Tower, which is on the cover. And I’ve climbed with Charlie and Damon out in the West End.



Brian is correct.

Kozak's 1985 Southwest Rock.

Edit to add hint...price in USD...area is on the right coast side of the U.S.

Not the Gunks, though it does have some similarities.  This is a tough one.  Feels like it's right under my nose.

Under and to the left...ha ha.

Less than four hours away...(geez...I95 goes near a lot of climbing on the East coast...).

Edit:  not in PA.  South of PA.

Edit:  pick a side of the river...yeah, its one of those.

Mocanaqua? Looks like the weird rock out there but I didn't think there was a guide.

Yeah, that does look like the main face before walking into the river.  I used to TR there all the time back in the late 1980s/early 1990s while on business.  That was a good crew of climbers.  Apparently John Stannard had a career just down the street from there as a physicist.
