I was wondering if there were any people out there with a copy of Fifty Classic Climbs, by Roper and Steck, that they wanted to sell.
(Feel free to move this post, if there's a better place for it.)

Chris,
I believe the book has recently been re-released. I've seen it @ Borders and Barnes & Noble. Have you checked Amazon? Good luck.

I think you maybe thinking of the book by Kroese. There are books listed on Amazon, but they are used and VERY expensive.

I have a used copy of "Fifty Crappy Climbs of North America" I will loan you. It's the 4th edition - the cover features a guy handjamming a crack in a concrete retaining wall in east Kansas City. The landing zone is broken Miller bottles and used condoms.

In reply to: Anyone with a book care to list the fifty classic climbs of North America?
I wasn't planning to sell my copy of 50 Classic Climbs of NA, but if someone would actually pay >$100 for my copy (Very Good condition), I'm interested.

Though published in 1979, some of these routes have still not seen a second ascent (e.g. Mount Logan, Hummingbird Ridge, though attempted). Some of these routes require some huge motivation and a deep belief boardering on delusion that some how you will make it (e.g. Mount Edith Cavell, North Face). I have honestly ticked 7, attempted 4 others, scouted out a couple, and realistically expect to do 14 more in my lifetime...
... these routes range from straightforward to extremely dangerous, be careful out there!
