5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stone Crusade: A Historical Guide to Bouldering in America (The American Alpine Book Series) (Paperback)
It reads as a guidebook, a history, and as literature. Sherman writes with surprising grace and introspection about the sport. Nice profiles of the locals at different areas, too. And I was relieved to see no reference to the finest, and apparently still secret, problem at Carderock, MD.

This review is from: Stone Crusade: A Historical Guide to Bouldering in America (The American Alpine Book Series) (Paperback)
This book is fantastic. If you like bouldering and John Sherman's humorous tales you will enjoy this book.The SOFT COVER BINDING FALLS APART after one or two openings. Of three people I know with the soft cover, all three have fallen apart. BUY THE HARD COVER VERSION!

By canyoner@sedona.net C.J. Dunn (Cornville, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stone Crusade: A Historical Guide to Bouldering in America (The American Alpine Book Series) (Paperback)
Stone Crusade is THE book of bouldering and the history of the sport in the USA. John Sherman's witty and irreverent writing style and his artistic photographic skill capture the true feeling of the sport across the entire country. A guide book, history lesson, and entertainment all rolled into one. You will want to hit the road on your own Stone Crusade.
