dkemp Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I've been to Tieton a coupla times, always with someone else's guidebook and they were photocopies of the original. I'd gladly pay for my own but I guess they are out of print - I called a couple climb shops and no-one has them. Does anyone know the status of the Tieton guide? Perhaps someone knows how to get in contact with the authors - Christensen I believe? Thanks in advance, Doxey Quote
erik Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 DOX jim yoder and marlene ford are currently writing a new guidebook to the area. it should be out by spring i believe. should be good, more routes in the tieton then you think. prolly by a couple hundred!!!! Quote
sobo Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I have the Matt Christensen guide from ca 1987. It's good only for the Royal Columns area. It's out of print. Norm Ried and Yale Preston put out "The Quick and Dirty Guide to the Tieton" a few years back. It's a comb-bound affair with not much route description or topos, and the photos turned out quite lousy in the reproduction process, but it's fair tool if you just want to locate the various areas it covers and do your own route exploration from there. Not worth the 10 sheckles they want for it, IMHO. As erik sez, wait for the Yoder/Ford guide due out soon. I expect I'll start seeing a bunch more of you westsiders over here once that guide comes out. Quote

sobo Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Ah yes, Joe Puryear's site. Have known about this little gem for a few months now. Good on you to bring it back up. He's got route topos for some new lines on Goose Egg. Quote
