Climbing Rock – Vertical Explorations across North America

A dream list of the most celebrated climbing destinations in North America,
each explored in depth.

Climbing Rock features some of the most classic and cutting-edge climbing
areas across the magnificent and the most diverse landscapes of North America.
The author recommends twenty-two of the best climbing areas to be found,
spanning the year’s seasons: ranging from Rifle, CO, in spring, to Canada’s
Bugaboos in the summer, to New York’s Shawangunks in the fall, to Mexico’s
Potrero Chico in winter.

These legendary locations cover the full spectrum of climbing experiences,
including masterful big-wall free-climbing on Yosemite’s El Capitan; desert
trad climbing at Red Rock, NV, and Indian Creek, UT; classic sport climbing in
Rumney, NH, and Red River Gorge, KY; oceanside cragging in California; and
bouldering in Bishop, CA, and Chattanooga, TN. François Lebeau’s artful
photographs uniquely capture both the stark beauty of the rock walls and the
adventurous spirit of those who journey upward.

Climbing Rock is the perfect book for anyone interested in climbing, from
athletes of all abilities to readers who appreciate breathtaking photography
of improbable physical feats across stunning North American landscapes.
