Hey Terry, thank you. Last I heard this has been in the QA stages for 5+ years.

Exactly. I’ll add that they’ve been climbing and having friends climb all the routes they will publish to make sure topos and route descriptions are as accurate as possible.

I expect it will be worth the wait. There will not be a PDF version.

Excellent. I hate pdf only guide”books”

Bump!

Terry E - Interesting comment: "They've been climbing and having friends climb all the routes they will publish....." I published a pic of a crack I came across while establishing a new FA above Yosemite Lodge. Ed and Eric were quick to chime in that they were the folks who retrobolted anchors below and above the crack, and that it was "possibly the best 5.9 finger crack in the Valley"....even though they had never told anyone about said best 5.9 crack in the Valley for many years.......I climbed the crack and it turned out to be 5.7 hands without the grass - possibly the most splitter pitch of that grade in the Valley but I"m wondering if they ever had anyone climb there "best 5.9 finger crack" or what their topo looks like now that I have established four new routes right next to it......no pdf means all the errors will be errors until the next printing, interesting too if you're thinking of investing in there gigantic new guidebook of three volumes.......Terry E you seem smarter than this, what do you make of this behavior? Best 5.9 in the Valley would you tell no one you found it and retrobolted it? You would just say 'there will be no pdf wait for the print book 19 years in the making...." .....just show me me the MP page or thread -  of course they did right, who would withhold that info from Yosemite climbers? ......lol, there will always be more climbs, more changes to climbs, different approaches different descents - to many of the routes in the Valley......let's all help get the info out about these climbs!

I'll buy both books whenever they come out.

What does the lack of interest on mp.com to this topic tells you?

506 replies and 26 pages long is a lack of interest?

Will Tenaya's Tears be in the new guide?

Enquiring Minds want to know.....:)

No Tenaya's Tears but my friend said it was decent - will probably make it in the 2027 edition

Look at all this guys posts. Joined 3 days ago.
Either a new addition to the trolls on here, or just doesn't even bother to read anything but the title of a post and the last page of a thread I swear it.

And just as quickly gone...

404!

Looks like you're off route!

The page you're looking for does not exist.

Well then, the new guide is trash! 

:P

Still no real, meaningful update as to where this thing stands.
