You'll get plenty strong carrying that guide around site to site.

There also used to be a book called "sport climbs of the east" or something close to that. It had mini-guides for a bunch of different areas across eastern Canada and the USA.

Classic US Gym Routes of May 2008 was just released last week. Most of the featured climbs should be good for another couple weeks at least.

There's a color coding scheme for birthday friendly, handicap accessable, and rowts that give you the best chance at looking down the shirt of the hottie at the front desk.

I think it's really only useful as a coffee table book.
The only reasonable serious answer to his question is to do your online research, print out mini-guides of special routes you want to hit, and buy the damn guidebooks for the major areas you want to hit.

It's really easy, just look at what area the job is in, and you can see how much climbing will be available.
