marylou Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Routes and Rocks, talk to me people. I am of but modest means, but I want these books. Quote
sobo Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Idaho Rock, Randall Green, 1987(?) I also have the 1st ed. of Chouinard's Climbing Ice, but mine's not signed. Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 The Climbers Guide to Yosemite Valley by Steve Roper, not sure which edition cause it's missing the first six pages after the pictures, from between 1970 and 1973. A bit more rare: Rock Climbs in Yosemite, ed by Dave Nicol, collected, collated, drawn, etc by Pete Livesey, Keith Nannery (who gave me both these and a bunch of pitons), Dave Nicol no date but also from the early 70s. This one begins "This guide was originally intended as a quick 'run-off' for use by the itinerant British climber, although it has now been considerable expanded. Needless to say we do hope that our North American cousins will find it both acceptable and useful." :-) Quote
Stefan Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Routes and Rocks, talk to me people. I am of but modest means, but I want these books. I have one in very good condition. Quote
Stefan Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I do not know how rare or out of print it is but I have the second version of One Day Winter Ascents by Dallas Kloke.... Has he done a third edition? Quote
Freeman Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Every guidebook to Leavenworth that was ever written - including the orange and white Beckey's, a bunch of old Off Belay's from the 70's, and, like a couple of people in this thread, a copy of Climbing Ice, but it's signed by my wife as a Christmas present - and says that my present is a three day seminar with Chouinard and Donini learning to ice climb (circa 1978). A friend has promised his copy of Routes and Rocks as well as his orignal Beckey when he passes on - I'm in no hurry to collect. Quote
