PRC 4th edition

Recommended Posts

Portland Rock Climbs 4th edition is available in the Portland area, initially at Climb Max, Mtn Shop, OMC, but soon to be at most of the local stores.

The book has a new comprehensive chapter on the Ozone wall and The Far Side thanks to the special efforts of Bill, Kevin, Jon, Bryan, Jim, and other climbing associates.

For those who did not get the small pamphlet guide (year 2008) to the Ozone wall, this edition of PRC incorporates that legacy thanks to Kevin Evansen and associates.

This guide has all the other mega climbing places of course, including Beacon, Broughton, Rocky Butte, etc, etc.

Many new action photos, a special tribute to Jim Opdycke written by Jon Bell, various emblems such as an "umbrella" to direct you to the climbs that stay dry on a lightly rainy day.

Additional photo diagrams of certain sections of the cliff, the Hardman List (now pegged at 33), Routes by Rating list, various other select lists such as "10 great trad routes under 5.10", etc.

The Ozone chapter combines a strong selection of photo diagrams along with the digital illustrations used in the Evensen Ozone guide.

And...a great short story by Dave Sowerby about a typical day at French's Dome. Aside from a few minor images that are a bit small...hope ya like it.

Thank you Tim for being the front man in terms of guide books for the Portland and surrounding areas. Your continued effort in communicating the art of climbing via the written word is much appreciated. :tup:
