Dru Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I didn't get my copy from Mr. E I got it at that climbing store in Renton on my way to the granite dome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Funny that the new smith guide included those routes in Renton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 No, silly, I bought it there cause it was the first place I saw it! I only stopped in cause they had the 75% off sale, and of course the guidebook wasn't on sale - but I wanted to see if Light on the Path was upgraded to 10a or not...

layton Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 There's actually an update sheet you can buy from Redpoint based on the NEW guide! Already people are putting sweet routes up. It's pretty detailed, kinda like a supertopo. The fixed nut is gone from p.4 and the update printout you can buy has this indicated!

iain Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I got a second copy at US Outdoor too last week. They said they are now sold out so you will have to wait for another shipment. Nice to not have to flip through the lawson supplement thingy. That photo on the cover is sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I call TILT on the photo of him in the dihedrals. Look at the safari cap - the suspicious angle of the neck shade gives it away. Regardless, the admiring rabble at the base of the route IS impressive. A sea of beige shirts and polypro demanding the send, pens at the ready to get their FOTH books 'graphed by the legend once the chains are clipped in victory and the margaritas flow freely from the hand-cranked blender.

Alex Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Awesome, I can't wait to see it! Dr_Flash_Amazing said: Fuckis wrong with Falcon? Nothing. Jason Martin and I also considered Falcon if the deal with Mountaineers Books didnt work out. The reality is, as an author, you are psyched when any publisher is interested in taking your project, let alone the publisher of your choice. Publishers know enough to know that most guidebooks do not make (much) money. Never going to be a best-seller. So always a risk. True, Smith Guide will sell more copies of something obscure, like, say Washington Ice: A Climbers Guide, but be happy Falcon took the project and you don't have to deal with copies from .JPGs off some Internet site or something.

texplorer Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 You guidebook whores! Throwing away your older, dirty, and scribbled to hell guidebooks. Just because you want to put a little check by the new 10 gallon bucket entry into your "new" guidebook is sad. It was bad enough when you scrounged for that red thing with Lawson crap in it. Oh, and that "Wherever I may roam" is a disgrace to the metallica song. Classic my ass, its a medoicre climb of the gumbic proportions.

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Now this statement is sooo true from the first word to the last period. Except for the stuff in between, which sounds like a bunch of hex-humping trad BS. In order to be true, it would need to be emended to read thusly: "You."
