Utah Rock Climbing

Covers all the major climbing areas (24) in the state

Often considered the mecca of American rock climbing, Utah has almost as many
routes as it has inhabitants. This is best reflected in Stewart Green`s hefty
guide, which weighs in at a whopping 537 pages. Green has indeed taken an
admirable stab at rounding up descriptions, photos, and beta for every route
worth mentioning. He takes the reader from the remote corners of Castle Valley
and the Island in the sky to the oft-travelled crags of Salt Lake`s Little and
Big Cottonwood canyons. Route descriptions are thorough and easily understood.
More importantly, most of the route maps are superimposed over actual
photographs to insure that readers actually find the walls they are after.

Rock Climbing Utah is the only guide available that covers all the major
climbing areas in the state. Traditional and sport climbers from the beginner
to expert will find a superb sampling of hundreds of routes in the 25 areas
covered–including 300 new routes that were not in the first edition. This
fully revised and expanded guidebook offers first-hand information for
climbers, including area overviews and climbing histories, route betas and
topos, color maps and photos, equipment recommendations, approach and descent
information, and listings for shops, gyms, and guide services. Stunning action
photos round out the package to make Rock Climbing Utah an essential source
for visitng and local climbers alike.
