AlpineMonkey Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I just saw these on Amazon and they are for sale between $250 and $500. Are people really paying this??? That's a lot for a book I bought about 8 years ago for $30. Maybe we should start investing in climbing books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 ah the wonders of the market. The Index one was way up there a while back. Banff: Glad I found a copy. Steve warned me that people are stealing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I dont think people are paying that much considering a scanned .pdf is floating around. With Brent's new select book coming out I bet prices continue to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 kind of silly. so when will my guide start selling for 250-500$?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldiron Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 The new Canadian Rockies ice guide looks nice, they were selling at Bozeman ice fest. I could only find it online here: Ice Lines: Select Waterfalls of the Canadian Rockies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael_H Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Note that Brent's book also mentions several climbs in the vicinity of the "selected" one chosen. I got a pre-print copy while in Canmore and can say it has several years' worth of trips to Rockies. He climbed each one, so we found the info terse but spot on. There is way more to it though: there are GPS coordinates, there is the whole online counterpart to it, made to be easily scanned. Has the same high usability quality as a Supertopo guide.

spionin Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 We picked up a copy of the select guide in Canmore this week. It's really nice! The photos are absolutely excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
