I've got Fred's Darrington and Index Rock Climbing Guide, published in 1976.

It has a picture of Dianne Dailey on the cover climbing the 10a section of Pisces when it was 5.8. Just about every route (all 18 of them) on the Lower Wall includes a pin list.

Someone out there must have a copy of the Guide to Leavenworth rock-climbing areas by Fred W Beckey. Please share a little about it. Is it dated... cool as a collector? Or a worthwhile guide book as a supplement?

 

 

Beckey/Bjornstad 1965 is good if you wish to return to simpler times

or for historical research on bushes

Wow, that's pretty cool. Thanks for posting it! I'm a big fan of the old books and will likely try to get a copy of this. What about geologically though? Becky does a fair job breaking down some the geological history in his CAG's and I've been successful at acquiring some cool USGS pubs on the Olympics and the Cascades, but haven't seen much for the Alpine Lakes area.
