Selected Climbs in the Cascades, Part 1, edition 2

[Pencil_Pusher]

Damn. I'd heard this was coming out but figured the first edition was good enough. Well I was at the Mountaineers Bookstore yesterday and there it was. I thumbed through it and it's got some good photos in there as well as some more routes. Bastards , the damn thing makes me want to buy it... it's pretty inspirational. If Beckey can do it, others can too I guess. Besides, the 1st edition is in pieces due to tearing out the pages for each trip.

BTW, the new green Beckey book is out so don't go buying the old one the bookstores are pushing.

Thanks for the heads up!

But....Why didn't you hear about this last month?

There are suppose to be a lot (can't remember exact #)

routes in the new edition.

Fred Becky

[dberdinka]

Fill me in. What new routes of interest have been added?

[ctuller]

Do the mounties have the new Becky book in stock yet?

[slothrop]

Colchuck NBC's in there, for one. Not that you'd need any more beta than a search on cc.com for the 17 TRs from last month.

 

The photos are excellent.

[JoshK]

Maybe I misunderstood your wording PP, but Jim Nelson writes the Selected Climbs series, not Beckey. Both guys

[eric8]

Mt. Hardy and some more climbs at washington pass are in as well

That works, or simply trace the topo and write important beta points on that page.

He added many other routes. He also deleted at least one, curiously.Where is mt Hardy?

[eric8]

Mt. Hardy

Not to be a big ol' thread drifter, but has anyone seen the new 11Worth guide in stores yet? I thought it was, but haven't seen it anywhere.

 

Where can I get one?

[allthumbs]

Have you tried REI yet? How 'bout Amazon?

[allison]

No, just Vert World, Amazon, Barnes and Noble (don't ask) and REI.

I thought you were going out of town or something...

[allthumbs]

Not out of town. Did a couple days the the Broker's Show at Chandler's Cove. The Hooter Honeys were looking especially fine this week. They had my usual table in reserve and pampered me in the manner of which I've become accustomed.

 

Bwahahahaha

I'm not usually prepared when I go climbing so the simple task of copying the text is way too complex for someone who can barely remember to bring the book (I've climbed Ingalls, Tooth, Marymoor and Exit 38 in Dockers [dress shoes for Exit 38 and Marymoor] and coveralls for Smith [with a case of Snickers I inadvertantly had in the car, which worked out well because I forgot to bring food]). Hell, I've even gone for a hike up to Muir in the then girlfriend's clothes (they were pretty tight) and my cross country ski shoes because I forgot my stuff... my friends said they'd never look at me the same.

I'll tear out of Nelson, but not Fred...

My bad, I thought the new green Fred was already out.

And, I don't know anything about this new Nelson book because I didn't buy it, just thumbed through it. An annual student Mounties membership costs $45 and members get a 20% discount on all "The Mountaineers" books. There's tons of activities going on each month though I have yet to go on one. They'll let you bypass the basic class with their basic equivalency, but because they need instructors, there is no intermediate equivalency. Yeah, I asked and they said no... maybe it was just me.
