Rad Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I heard that Bryan Burdo has one or two new guide books coming out soon. Does anyone know the scoop? Quote
fenderfour Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 A new mazama guide, out this weekend, I think. Seattle Vertical World will probably have some copies very soon. THey are hosting a kick off climb/party thing Quote
Blake Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I have heard that the update to the North Cascades guide was meant to be out this spring, so maybe not too much of a wait on that one... Quote

olyclimber Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Looks like they were giving out advance copies of the new "Mazama Rock Guide", but it wasn't put out yet. What press? Quote
goatboy Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I called Feathered Friends, 2nd Ascent, and Vertical World to find a copy -- the word is that it won't be out until August or later.... Â tick tock, tick tock, the interminable wait for the promised Burdo guide continues.... Â Apparently, early copies were handed out at a Mazama event so folks could provide some feedback on the book before it went to press. Anyone get an advance copy??? Quote
Rad Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Does Burdo post on this site? Why not ask him directly? Quote
goatboy Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Does Burdo post on this site? Why not ask him directly? Â Okay. Â Hey Brian Burdo, what's the deal with your guidebook? Â Thanks, Â Goatboy on behalf of lots of people who might be interested Quote
fredrogers Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 I called Feathered Friends, 2nd Ascent, and Vertical World to find a copy -- the word is that it won't be out until August or later.... tick tock, tick tock, the interminable wait for the promised Burdo guide continues....  Apparently, early copies were handed out at a Mazama event so folks could provide some feedback on the book before it went to press. Anyone get an advance copy???  Some folks I live with did get an advance copy at the event. There is tons of new stuff which did need some feedback and some final details confirmed- Brian and others have been very busy and it will be worth the wait... That said, I have no idea when it will be out.   Quote
512dude Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) I have a copy of the Preliminary Guide book signed by the author himself! He's been dang busy bolting and cleaning and if you know how much work it takes to do what he does then give him a break on the release schedule.  I'm sure that I could share a few pages  Cheers, C  Edited August 4, 2007 by 512dude Quote
genepires Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 any news of the new books? been a while. Quote
cman Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Sounds like it will be out this spring? Â Check out the Burdo Zone http://verticalworld.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=45&Itemid=31&phpMyAdmin=579c467844det1d779064 Â Sounds like it will be a good one. Quote
Blake Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 There is both a Mazama cragging guide, and a Bouldering Guide coming out soon. My understanding is these will be two separate books. As of January, I was told that he was finishing up the Bouldering and would soon move on to a book of alpine routes at WA Pass. However, this will be ONLY unpublished routes. A full WA Pass guidebook is somewhere further out on the horizon. Â Â Last summer he pointed Dan and I to an area about 15 minutes up the road from the Mazama store called the "Prospector Wall" (~15 min approach). This wall was MUCH better than "fun rock" and should be in the new cragging guide. Quote
eric8 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Blake (or anyone), did you end up climbing his new route on SEWS this fall? Quote
Blake Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I didn't climb it, but I would like to do it next year. He finished up the bolted belays at the stations. Scott Johnston of NCMG who posts on here was working on it with him, so maybe someone at NCMG will post the topo at their location in Mazama, like they did for other new routes. Â If you want a partner for it next summer, I am eager to give it a go Eric. We might even find Bryan's tennis shoe at the base somewhere. Â This climb is in the vacinity of "The passenger" and within conversational shouting distance to the climbers' left of the Direct East Buttress. Quote
