Used book stores can be a good place to find old guidebooks, especially in a town where there is climbing nearby.

sams was quiet this weekend, but not exactly empty. The place is so huge you can always escape boyscouts, yahoos, and the lines for the "classics".
Usually I wouldn't condone photocopying books for copyright reasons and out of respect to the author...but frisbie has kind of pushed arkie climbers into a corner, hasn't he?

You can say that again. There are a couple of people like myself who spend a lot of time there. It a shame not to have the info that is already out there about the routes and their diff. I think it will be more productive to try and get a "ghost guidebook" than to hold my breath and wait for the new version. I'm sure Clay is a busy man.

Yep, and I sure-as-hell ain't spending no 90 dollars on some darn climbing book!
Spoken as though I live here, but love it in Arkansas

I bought a used copy through amazon.com the other day for $10.34. It could pass for new. I saw the $90 copy, then googled the book's title. It came from another used book dealer through amazon. Funny how everyone seems to head right for the Throne out there.

If anyone would be interested in getting rid of, or helping me in any way to get a copy of this darn book, I would return the favor and be forever in your debt.

In reply to: I hear you guys about the season. So the bugs become more sparse... right... man I hope so. We were warming up on Penetence and a WOLLY MAMMOTH of a spider jumped onto the leaders foot. Honestly, this thing was like 3 inches in legspan and freakin hairy as a greek sailor. He (climber) was screaming like a sally and could be heard throughout the entire Outback I am sure. What a great warmup, he almost took a whipper in his frantic attempt to remove said beast. And the flys, I call them B52's, they could go also. Great climbing though.
So...uh.....what are you trying to say? Yea...so ...I don't like spiders climbing all over me while attempting a 5.10...sorry.
Bah!!
