I'm trying to find a copy of Chris Eklunds guide, Bounce and Swim, a bouldering guide to Taylor Falls.  If anyone has a copy that they would be intrested in selling please let me know.

I have one but it is not for sale. It is a prototype that Chris gave me to review for possible editing and publishing. As far as I know it never was published. At the time there were only 6 prototypes made by Chris. All others were copied from the original 6.

Hey Peter, so did the book never actually get published?  I've only been able to find vague references to it in other guide books.

As far as I know it was never published. It would be interesting to know how many copies exist. If I remember correctly, Chris moved to Ohio and took up golf. He was a very good climber and did many of the first ascents that were in Bounce and Swim.
