3.0 out of 5 stars Wide Range of Areas, but Somewhat Brief Overviews, April 5, 1999

By A Customer

Where Green's guide excels is in the wide range of rock climbing areas included in the guide. He includes many locations that even Colorado locals, like myself, did not know about. This feature will prove useful for anyone road-tripping in CO. or anyone wanting to discover new rock in the state. This book has a major drawback though, it fails to give extensive topo for any one area. The book will only cover about half of an area's climbs in order to save the book from being any thicker than it already is. To the climber looking for thorough beta on a local crag, this book won't cut it, and one will find a specialized guidebook much more beneficial.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must have book for your travel in Colorado, April 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Scenic Driving Colorado (Paperback)

I have spent my last two summer vacations traveling through Colorado with my family. This book has been our guide for our travels on back roads. The information has been correct and well laid out. If you enjoy travel on two lane roads versus freeways, where you can see the country around you, this book is for you. I have used the authors book for New Mexico as well. enjoy your trip!

1.0 out of 5 stars Travelers book, December 15, 2009

By	Eckhard G. Koehler (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is the WORST Colorado climbing book I own! For starters look at the publishing date! circa 1995!!! That's nearly 15 yrs old!! It may have been great in the day, but now it lacks all but the classic Colorado climbs. Other newer books tend to have more accurate descriptions of routes and directions, photos, and more routes within them due to the massive amount of climbing routes added since 1995. If you want to own 1 book this is ok, and I'd sell you mine. If you want to really know an area buy a book that doesn't try to encompass the whole state, and focuses on the area you want.
