just picked mine up at climb on - it's low-budget, but quite well done.
approach beta is a bit thin in spots, but the topos are great and you get a PDF version so you can print pages rather than carry/trash your guidebook.

I just got mine too, and it looks pretty good, with a couple notable omissions. Edge of Pan and Expect Minor Falcon Delays didn't make it in. The guidebook states that it's a work in progress, so maybe they'll be included in the future. Nice to have some focus back on aid climbing though.

Edge of Pan does not exist as a aid route anymore. mostly free. also there are peregrin closure details for routes that lie within the closed area.

I converted the PDF pages into .png files that I can set as my PC wallpaper - I can absorb route beta all day now while I work! Currently set to Ten Years After, this weekend's project.
Thanks Matt!

In reply to: out aid climbing yet?
We had a couple comments on your guidebook info. You mention that belay 6 and 8 have bomber bolts. Belay 6 has 1 bomber bolt, 1 rusty but o.k. looking bolt, and a few bad ones. Belay 8 is a bomber gear belay. We didn't find any bolts there.
