yakimuchacho Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I just bought the new guidebook at Hyperspud Sports (Yakima) and it is excellent. I have been waiting for a comprehensive Tieton guide with awesome photos/beta/ and more for awhile. Ford and Yoder wrote this guide in the same style (fonts, get located crag topos., and great photos.) as the Frenchman Coulee guidebook. I want to thank Jim Yoder and Marlene Ford for their hard work. "andyf" (ccc.c) has "created and/or assisted with 147 of the 356 routes there (Tieton)" p. 8. "joepuryear" ( ccc.c) has put up many multi-pitch routes up Goose Egg and he has added a few routes to The Talon. Thank you Andy, Joe, and others for making/developing the Tieton into an incredible climbing heaven. BUY THE BOOK! Yes, there really is a reason to live in Yakima: the crags are only 30 minutes away, they are always dry, and there is rarely wind. Quote

sobo Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Got mine at lunch, and have been reading it ever since. I should just take the rest of the day off... Nice guide. Quote
yakimuchacho Posted January 6, 2005 Author Posted January 6, 2005 The South Fork routes (Astral Wall and Hexagonal Satellites) look amazing. The Caldera bouldering area looks awesome too. I am definitely stoked. It's on! Quote
Peter_Puget Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I have heard the South Fork routes rock! Can't wait to get a copy. Quote
sobo Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 OK, so I just spent the last 3 hours or so in my office reading the new guide. To what project do I bill this time? Seriously, I'm stoked for Tieton multis on Goose Egg. South Fork "hexagonals" look fun, too. OK, now on to re-reading Alex's and Jason's guide for my upcoming adventures this weeknend... My boss is gonna kill me if he finds out... Quote
LUCKY Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 The Alpine Experience in OLY has it in case any of you Mossy back west siders want to dream of dry climbing weather. Another well done guide book by Jim Yoder and Marlene Ford Quote
