Rumbling Bald Guidebook?

Hi all,

Searching around online trying to find a rumbling bald guidebook but I can't find any info. Assuming they are available in some local shops around Asheville / Lake Lure / etc.

Gym buddy said he got one online from Cultivate but no luck there. 

Any insight? 

Thanks!

Are you looking for ropes or bouldering? There is a new rope guide that should be in stores soon. It has updates for RB and additions for Table Rock State Park in SC.

Check Black Dome Mtn Sports, Second Gear, or the Asheville REI. 

You can buy the roped climbing guide from Ground Up Publishing directly. REI might have the bouldering guidebook

Bouldering specifically. All I can seem to find is the old paperback published in 2008

Thank you, I will call around. I originally checked black domes website, although I’m guessing most places won’t have it stocked online 

Last time I was at Black dome I asked about it. Apparently they’re coming out with a new edition for bouldering, so in the meantime it seems the old version is no longer in print. Not sure about a date for the release. 

Call Sunrift Adventures in Travelers Rest SC. They have a nice selection of south east guidebooks. https://www.sunrift.com/

Rei in Asheville has them last I checked 

Anyone who is already at Rumbling Bald and doesn’t want to drive back to Asheville can find a couple different Bouldering guides at Bubba O'Leary's General Store in the town of Chimney Rock, 6 min drive away from the climbs. (Info current as of Dec 2025)

FYI this just got reprinted:

Am I misremembering there would be a third edition?
