4.0 out of 5 stars
useful,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rock Climbing the San Francisco Bay Area (Regional Rock Climbing Series) (Paperback)
I have mainly used this book for Cosumnes River Gorge and for Mt. St. Helena. Planning on getting out to Mt. Diablo soon.
Even though everyone seems to not like Falcon guides, I think this one is pretty useful. Although, rumor has it that SuperTopo is coming out with a big book that is Bouldering and Ropes for Northern California. I would invest in that book if you plan to be climbing for a long time in a variety of places.
