Routes & Rocks in the Mt Challenger Quad online

[Tony_Bentley]

 

This book is the original guide to the Northern and Southern Picket Ranges and outlying areas. The guide contains geologic references as well as alpine hiking routes.

 

I have the book on my website now as both pdfs and a compressed folder with a high resolution map and jpegs.

 

I encourage anyone that is familiar with this area to add comments with up to date information about each of the access routes. Each route is numerical so it is probably best to use the route number, then the description of the route changes or differences between now and then.

Tony,

 

My copy of this book says "Copyright 1968 © by The Mountaineers". A little googling under "copyright expiration" suggests that this book is still protected by copyright until the year 2064. Did you get permission to reproduce it on your website?

Thanks. The web page didn't load for me when I tried it the first time. Yes, the permission notice is clear to see.

I contacted Mary Metz at The Mountaineers Books and according to her, they no longer retain a copyright. The rights then default back to the Author, who was and still is employed through the USGS.

 

Sorry if you are having connection problems with my website. They were having some sort of problem the last couple of days with my web server but they insist that it will be fixed after today.
