This is a fantastic overview of climbing the Cascade Volcanoes. Aerial photographs of the mountains supplement the schematic route descriptions. Can be used alone to climb the routes, especially the popular ones, however a specific guidebook would be better for some of the lesser-known peaks as the route descriptions for those peaks are somewhat vague. Unfortunately for route book publishers, the internet now has robust resources for current route descriptions and conditions. That said, there's usually no wifi at basecamp and this book doesn't require batteries! A great inspirational book

Very accurate book about the Northern Cascade Range. This book will tell you all the main routes like a dummies guide would. If you want the real deal for climbing the cascades, then spend the money on Oregon High, for the really obscure routes that nobody has ever heard of. For 10 bucks, the Falcon Guides are bar none, "the one".

This is an excellent guide book with very easy to follow symbols. I'm more confident now in climbing the Cascades (but less so on the tougher ones like Mt. Rainier).

Highly recommended for hikers, explores, and peak-baggers alike.

I bought this item recently in new condition, and the copyright dates are actually "1992, 1993", and there are no bibliography entries after 1992.
