5.0 out of 5 stars
Poor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock Climbing New Mexico and Texas (Paperback)
Having put up hundreds of routes in New Mexico, I was expecting this book to be an updated collection of all the new routes that have been going in in New Mexico. It's not. It's a collection of routes from very old sources. Let's hope Walt Wehner or Luke Laeser get their guides done soon!!

not great,
By Kyle Larson (corpus, texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rock Climbing New Mexico and Texas (Paperback)
for texas, it is not that great. The enchanted rock guide is all but worthless. Reportedly inaccurate in other areas as well. For an enchanted rock guide, check out erockonline.com

A much needed guide, but . . .,

This review is from: Rock Climbing New Mexico and Texas (Paperback)
Dennis has done what a lot of folks have thought about doing, but never quite gotten around to it - a comprehensive guide to the state of New Mexico (Texas is in there, too, but I haven't climbed there, so can't judge that part). It is a very useful book for those of us who live and climb in NM, but as might be expected of a first effort, is incomplete and inaccurate for many areas. Still, having some information is a lot better than having none, so I recommend buying it. Hopefully Dennis will proceed with a second edition, but I doubt it, because there is a limited market, and it's a huge amount of work.
