This review is from: Rock Climbing the Flatirons (Paperback)

I like Richard Rossiter's guidebooks - they are always good. The topos are easy to use, and it seems comprehensive. The layout that the Falcon guidebook series uses is also outstanding - much better than any climbing guidebooks I've used in the UK where I am from. I take a star off because there aren't photos of every crag with the routes on. I regard that essential.
