lancegranite Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 The new Leavenworth guidebook by Viktor Kramer is finally here. Available directly from the author and at selected local retailers. Congrats VK! http://www.leavenworthrockclimbing.com/ Quote
sobo Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Oh, man! I just checked out the sample pages on the link LG provided! This new guide is smokin'!!!1 I'm gonna have to order one immediately and own my fourth VK guide to 11worth. Quote
Alpinfox Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Looks awesome. Congrats VK! Is buying the book through the website the best way to get the most money to the author (fewer middlemen, commissions, etc)? Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Haven't seen it myself but sounds and looks good. Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 And a nice number of new routes and crags! Quote
chef_raekwon Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Do any of the Seattle gyms or retailers have it in stock right now? Quote
DCramer Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 An insane amount of new routes and crags. Some of the best crag routes in Leavenworth have come into existence since VK's last guide. I’ve always loved the Smith Rock guide and think it is one of the best but given the huge area Viktor covers and the large variety of crags I think Viktor’s is the best in the NW. Buy it right after you get your Index T-shirt! Quote

Dannible Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 The book is really good. I thought the old one was good enough but was in LMS when they were delivered and after standing there going through almost the whole book I got one. Pretty pictures, way better topos, and an alpine rock section sold me on it. Lots of cc.com folk represented, including Lancegranite on a four star route that he recently helped clean. Gonna be a good, long climbing season over here. Quote

lancegranite Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 Buying your guide from the web ensures the product is picked from the box that day at the peak of freshness and shipped to your door in a discrete brown package. Copies are also currently available over the counter without a prescription at both Leavenworth climbing shops.* *Everyone enjoys a new guidebook, but please, do not ever attempt to read Leavenworth Rock and drive a car, motorcycle or heavy equipment. Always use a designated driver if you or someone you know is using Leavenworth Rock. Quote
