Years of research has resulted in a comprehensive atlas to over 2,000 areas across North America that either have well-established rock climbing, or the potential for it.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Technical rock climbing?on gym walls, fabricated cliffs, boulders, and cliff faces?has grown in popularity with young adults, who are attracted to its billing as an "extreme sport." Toula, a young climber himself, has produced the first guide to all the climbing areas on this continent. More than 2000 locations are listed, along with such pertinent information as climbability, rock type, and height. There are some drawbacks: The data provided on areas within the 50 states are more complete than that given for Canada and Mexico. Annoyingly, the maps in the appendixes merely locate climbing areas, with each description coded to provide overly general detail in a brief space. Nonetheless, climbers will find this reference useful in planning trips. For active climbing collections.?Paula M. Strain, Rockville, Md.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An unreal collage of North America's crags.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock 'n' Road (Paperback)
If you are looking for the one book that tells of all the climbing hot spots then look no further. This book gives most all the features of each crag including height, rock type, classic climbs and great directions. No more guess-work on just how good that mystery cliff might be thanks to Tim's star ranking system. If your travel is ever dependent upon cliffs then here this is your Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars
the greatest rock climbing guide book ever,
This review is from: Rock 'n' Road (Paperback)
Hands down the best ever. Driving directions, witty and snide commentary, which aspect is in the sun vs. shade, tons of copy editing errors. Who needs to know exactly which route is which? You only need to get there! Also serves as a dependable guide to good free camping all over North America and as a cutting surface for chopping vegetables.
