4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Job!, April 22, 2000
By 
Gary Clark (Spring Creek, NV, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Colorado Ice Climber's Guide (Regional Rock Climbing Series) (Paperback)
I have all the ice guides to colorado, and this one is about the only one I trust. Ratings are, in my experience, slightly conservative, which is better than being the other way, particularly for ice climbs where getting in over your head can be very serious. Route information is, for all the routes in the book I've done, very accurate.

Great book for identifying and climbing ice routes in Colorado. Some of the information is a little dated, but in general where the ice is doesn't change!

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty good, January 7, 2010

This review is from: Colorado Ice Climber's Guide (Regional Rock Climbing Series) (Paperback)
I found this to be a pretty good guide. There is a lot of ice that is not covered by the book. But, what is covered is described pretty well.
