Red, Green, or Brown?

[Fairweather]

If, for the remainder of your useful days here on Earth, you were forced to choose only one of Fred Beckey's three "Cascade Alpine Guide" books/territories in which to climb, which would it be?

 

Red Book: Fraser Riv to Rainy Pass

Green Book: Rainy Pass to Stevens Pass

Brown Book: Stevens Pass to Columbia River

The Green book. It is the one that I have used most frequently in the past.

[Fairweather]

So you could never climb Rainier, Adams, Stuart, Dragontail, Baker, Challenger again. But then again, the Green Book is the thickest...and has the most 9000'ers.

i like the brown book. but i don't have the green one and i haven't really used the red one ... so i'm kind of biased.

Tossup between the red and green, but I'd probably pick the red. more unclimbed schtuff in there.

You could just follow the trail of people up Baker, Rainier, and Adams .
