It is a great book with some funny descriptions. I remember something about "Hanging on hooks while edging in rock shoes"

This lead took 17 hours over two and a half days and should not be attempted by those with a short attention span.

Now there is a description of a climb that does not lend itself to an A.D.D. climber.

it's a great guidebook, I love being able to print stuff from the PDFs! I've heard rumours of a second edition on the way with more history and anecdotes and a few more obscure/new routes. Anyone have any beta on the new aid line above bellygood?
