4.0 out of 5 stars An oldie..., March 14, 2006

M. Kochte "Indy" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Climbers Guide to the Great Falls of Potomac (Paperback)

For its time, this was THE book to have if you wanted to climb at Great Falls. It was the most comprehensive book on the market (heck, it was the ONLY book on the market!) for climbing at Great Falls. Jim Eakin had done a fabulous job of compiling all the route information to the area into a nice, small, pocket-sized book. Back in its day, this was a 5-star book. However...

It has become obsolete. In 2001 it was superceded by a second edition assembled by Alex Tait. The new edition included more climbs, more photos, more topos, and better maps (the ones in the first edition were already quite good). So if you pick up the first edition of this book, it'll be mostly for nostalgia (the route information isn't totally obsolete, but the new book does have more routes, and updates on some routes which are now closed for climbing). The second edition is a 5-star book.
