Book Description

Weekend Rock September 2006
You don’t have to be a "rock star" to top out on these routes—and you can fit them in anytime you have a day or two free!

· More than 200 trad and sport climbs from 5.0 to 5.10a
· Topo maps or photos with route overlays for most routes
· "Choose a Climbing Area" chart compares destinations by climbing type, rock type, best time of year, length of approach, and drive time from urban areas

This guide is for climbers with busy lives who want to make the most of their time on the rock. Most approaches are short, drive time from urban centers is noted, and estimated climbing times range from a few minutes to a full day for these routes rated 5.0 to 5.10a. But—more important—these routes have been selected for quality of experience, rated on a three-star system.

There is something here for everyone, from basalt and sandstone crags to routes on volcanic rock and wilderness spots high in the Cascades. Weekend Rock Oregon points you to the best weekend destinations around the state, including Broughton’s Bluff, Rocky Butte, and Carver Bridge Cliffs near Portland; Smith Rock, a world-class climbing destination; The Honeycombs and Acker Park in Umpqua National Forest; and Burnt River in southeast Oregon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll in Oregon, November 21, 2006
This review is from: Weekend Rock Oregon (Paperback)
If you are planning a climbing trip to Oregon this Rock Climbing Guide is a must. The routes of Smith Rock are worth the price alone. This guide is for beginning and intermediate climbers (5.0 to 5.10a). The route descriptions, pictures, and diagrams are awesome. Climb some of the states most beautiful locations. This book is a great guide and instrutor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect beginning/intermediate guide, August 14, 2008
This review is from: Weekend Rock Oregon (Paperback)
This book is perfect for climbers who only need descriptions of routes 5.10a and under. (The author includes highly rated 5.10b/c routes, as well.) It gets discouraging looking at books where I have to flag the few pages that refer to climbs I can do. This book is reasonably priced and full of great pictures, information, and climbs I can do. What more could I want in a guide?
