5.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining and comprehensive history of bouldering,
By Andrew Steele (Slippery Rock, PA, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stone Crusade: A Historical Guide to the Bouldering in America (American Alpine Book Series) (Hardcover)
John Sherman has really done it with this excellent book. Though some may find his sense of humor somewhat caustic (I happen to like it), this is an indispensable guide to all the major bouldering areas in the country. Make no mistake--this is not a "guide book"--you will find no route topos or maps of bouldering areas here (though there are maps TO bouldering areas). The text stays within the historical realm, and Sherman's knowledge of these places is revealed on every page. Of particular interest are his (and other's) memories of places like the Buttermilk boulders, which are presented in a light that precedes the mega-popularity that Bishop has attained in the last five years or so. And Sherman is not only a talented writer--he is also one of my favorite climbing photographers. Beautiful and tasteful prints illustrate almost every page. Well worth the money.
5.0 out of 5 stars
